October 19, 200421 yr can any give me any suggestions over the weekand my car lost its alternator and i replaced it but now i have a rough idol and it stalls. drives fine at normal speed. not sure if the alternator is some how related. Th rpm jumps around like 400 rpm and i turned up the idle speed but it only stops the stalling but the rpm still is wild right now i have it idoling at about 1100 which i here is high for an ea 81. Thanks
October 19, 200421 yr Maybe in the process of changing out thte alt you pulled off a vacuum line and didn't put it back on. thats the first thing I would check. First thing I do when I work on my subs is take off the air cleaner and my 82 wagon has several vacuum lines connected with it. Bill
October 19, 200421 yr Author i will look at those then is there an easy way to spot a leak or will it sound like a leak or do i have to go over all the lines
October 19, 200421 yr i will look at those then is there an easy way to spot a leak or will it sound like a leak or do i have to go over all the lines you could try spraying ether in very specific locations around the engine and on the lines. If the engine surges, you know ether has entered the system...then you can at least have an idea of where the leak is.
