yes but it hard to explane, if you think they are loose then lock them down or tie them closed, so they cant open and go drive it, wont hurt anything and if it helps then that your problem.

thanks ill try tomorrow...
oh yeah you said i could put vac advance on a full vaccum to check it ..How and where???
one more thing would loose secondaries cause high gas consuption
with motor running pull vac hose off of the dist and put your finger over it, if you fill a suction its got vac. hook it back up to the vac adv and it should change the rpm. if it dont the adv is bad. if there is no vac there find a small vac port on the base of the carb and put the hose from there to the vac adv., should see some change in the rpm.:DQuote:

Look for a "Little Old Lady" car at a junkyard with a Q-jet on it. More times than not, those are good carbs. Also, there is a mixture controll module on the later q-jets. If your TPS or O2 sensor is out of whack, this will cause the conditions you describe. My personal guess is leaning towards the TPS as it is dominant towards higher RPMs. Youll find it towards the front, left side of the carb. If theres not a connector there, ignore everything i just said:P
