accordion hose carnage

[zachm611]

so i was investigating possible causes for a jumpy idle and when i got the accordion hose off... wow was all i could say lmao it looked like someone tried to repair it with rtv or something but it was like cut all the way around. so would this be a cause of jumpy idle? thanks, a new one is on its way tomorrow though so i guess i'll find out lol.

Heh, Ive been shoving 20psi through a patched up accordian hose for about a year now. I used gasket sealer to seal up a crack and some "rubber" stretchy tape stuff to seal on top of that. So far, working like a champ.

One day I'll quit being lazy and order a new one.

PFFFT... rong! plz... its from the blue off vale

that could cause an erratic idle from air escaping, the clutch fan makes alot of turbulence under there as well.

If your idle jumps then check your coil plug wiring(the small harness that comes from the 3 coils and goes to the main engine harness) and clean the ISC valve. I had the same problem and now it idles like a champ.

I'm glad you guys were able to clear that up for me. I was incredibly confused!

On a serious note, any leak between the combustion chamber and the AFM could be a cause of erratic idle, imo.
