Air Leaks

Post by HOOPS PINZ »

I think that I might have an air leak. When I come to a stop after traveling at speeds around the 50mph the engine cuts out or starts to run rough then cuts out. She will then start up again and idle a bit rough until I press the gas pedal.

I cant find any air leaks any one had this problem ?

Thanks Steve

Just noticed that no 3 breaker had tripped reset that and the vehicle runs better.
Looking at the wiring diagram that seems to be linked to the lights.

Any suggestions

I can't find my list at the moment, but it sounds like it was the breaker for the idle cut-off solenoids that had tripped.

#3 is for the left low-beam headlight according to my schematic and #10 is for the idle cutoff solenoids. It's possible that your wiring setup is different or maybe it was changed by someone.

Thanks guys I will check those things out. My breakers may be different as my ignition light seems to be incorperated with the flasher light, they are constantly lit up dimmly and brigthens when I put the flashers on
