I would be up for a meet. First things first though, I need to get the car running again. It ran fine the whole way home but now it's having issues. I'll start it and it will run for about 30 seconds and then die. Dont know what the deal is. When I bought the car I changed a couple leaky(non existant) vacuum hoses. I'm pretty sure there are more leaks causing this. Should I try and find the leaks or replace all the vacuum hoses anyway? I might take a trip to HTP Automotive and have matt run his new smoke machine on it. Hopefully I can find out what's wrong with it so I can get it licensed and legal.

here is the deal, mind did that too. but it was bad gas, and when it sat for 4 months waiting to be repaired (caz of lack of $$$) once the gas was out of it. it ran fine. althow it couldnt hurt to go ahead and replace them anyway. the hose's that is. it doesnt cost but like .10$ a foot. if that...just try it out and see. autozone has been the best place to get the vacume hose's..GL you need help or anything. let me know. im always willing to help..

Well I think I solved my problem. The guy that sold me the car replaced all the gaskets b4 he gave it to me(nice guy). Well evidently he didnt tighten the Intake manifold bolts tight enough. I'm missing 3 nuts and all the rest but 1 are lose. So the IM was leaking like a mofo. So I spent this morning tightening everything up and put 12 gallons of fresh 93 octane in it. Ran like a champ the whole way home. I also think that I had some bad gas in the car. Not for certain. But now all is well, and I'm going back to sleep.
