When I disconnected the EHA, the economy guage showed better readings, but was still not running as good as before it started running bad.
Sounds like a vac leak... Does it have power loss as well?
you can test for leak spots by spraying ether or propane around suspect areas and listen for an increased reving... might want to look at the breather hoses underneath for splits where they connect.
I wouldn't be suprised if you had more than one problem though...
