I have since done a Head Gasket and put a diferent IACV in. What I am thinking is that the motor mounts I got just were not good enough. So I am going to get a new one for the passenger side and get the more expensive and hopefully better one. Last time I got a pair off E-Bay and they were only 60 bucks. One off Fastlane or any other online places is like 80-100 depending on where you look and which one you get. So I am just going to suck it up and get a good one. As well as four new spark plug connectors Beru this time since the Bosch ones I got from online measured 1.2KOhm, supposed to be 1.0KOhm. One I got from the Stealer was perfect at 1.0KOhm so I will order the Beru and hopefully have better luck with them. As for vacuum, that does not seem to be the problem. Vacuum got a hell of a lot better once I did the head gasket and cleared the clogged pre-cats out. Car runs great now except that idle. Like I said idle is rough but smooth as far as RPM's go. Of course one thing I did notice is that the rubber boot under my AFM was starting to crack so that could also be somewhat of an issue and needs replacement now that I know about it. Good idea for the vacuum gauge though, I may pick one up this weekend if I stop by a parts store. The idle does not bother me that much, but I would like it smooth. When the engine is cold it is smooth as glass!
