HELP T2 bucking like a wild bull!
Ok first off I have a small leak at my bac. But today I went outside and started up my car, let it idle to normal temp and when I went to give it gas it was jumping around and not going anywhere.
So I took it around the block and it was ok at sometimes but mainly it wanted to buck like a wild bull.
Does anyone know what this problem may be?
I have a 89T2.
My vaccum gauge was reading normall which for me is about 18" at 1k However my a/f gauge was reading full rich.
Here are my thoughts on everything. Since I had the leak at the bac I adjusted to screw almost all the way out just to get the idle up past 200rpms. So what I am thinking is since it is only like 35 deg here that maybe the leak at the bac isnt very big at all and with the screw adjusted all the way out it is ******* everything all up. Then once it gets the upper manifold warm it should run ok.
Does that make sense to anyone else?

First off, if you have a vacuum leak, fix it. You can't troubleshoot anything with a vacuum leak.
Next thing to look at is the TPS.

Again, fix your vacuum leak first, then go from there.
