Still struggling with the hunting idle on my Turbo, it revs from 500 to 1300 once every second. If I make it idle above 1100 it;s steady. Replaced all the vac lines, checked the ones under the dash too.
I think maybe the valve to the vacuum tank ( the white balls which control the vacuum to the heater/defrost controls) is leaky as it doesn't work just after engine shut down.
ALSO, the boost gauge only goes halfway into the yellow. Does this mean I am getting low boost? What could be the cause of this? Are there more hidden vacuum lines? Is there a diagram of these somewhere?
