    get it tested anyway, it's free, turning all the accessories on doesn't give a constant load like you would think

    might as well get it tested for current/voltage under a carbon pile load...just to be sure.

    for the injectors, get yourself some new Orings and pull the rails off. disable the coils (i usually pull the coils and leave the ICM plugged in) flip the rail over and reconnect the inj clips. have a friend crank the car over and look at your injector spray patterns, if you find anything funky, remove the inj connector and clip and flip the inj around (one at a time) reconnect the wires and crank it to try to backflush the injectors, for the most part its a 50/50 shot as to whether that gets rid of the crud that could be causing a streaming injector, but its cheaper than just sendiung them out to be cleaned.

    I think I just need to buy a top swap, and replace everything ....I need to drive it now that the ignitio0n switch is clean, the pcm may need to relearn???... I am leaning back towards vacuum issue, cause the needle is very shaky and moves between 19 and 20.5 inches

    did you remove and plug the evap purge solenoid? small changes like that could just be the system purging the vapor cannister.
    block it off at the TB and retest vac

    gonna get trannymans setup?

    Yeah, I've been emailing him, I think I just gonna do it.


    The evap is not causing the problem, unplugged it, then capped of the vac line, no change

    the engine needs air,fuel and spark.
    ruled out spark (aside from hard to diagnose EMI)
    rulled out a majority of possible air issues
    that leaves fueling pull the injectors i'd bet one is partially cloged/streaming
