Re: 1988 350 TBI idles funny, stalls when put in gear, and accels rough...

Alright update. So I noticed that my muffler is completely shot, falling apart... would that relate to any of this? Just curious...

I checked vacuum lines, and the ones going to the MAP, EGR, and AIR all look fine. The one going to the canister, and others in that route were pretty rough looking so i've replaced those now. After a quick test drive, not any noticeable improvement.

Now that it's warmed up, checked again for any vacuum leaks (while running), cant find any. Could it take a long time for the computer to realize the problem is gone and relearn to run smoothly? Seems to be idling much better right now...
