car shuts off sometimes after shifting to nuetral Options

[brianforster]

ok so sometimes ill be driving and i guess if my rpm is above like 2-3000 in gear when i shift to nuetral the rpm's drop fast and the car shuts off, it fires right back up but its annoying..

also i think related to this is that sometimes in nuetral if i rev it in my driveway or something it iwll rev up, dip below 800 rpms then come back up to idle

art suggested vacuum leak and i believed him but i cant find one now that i have fixed my leaky BOV, does anyone know what else this might be?


also my motor seems to shake sometimes at idle, my motor mounts are new so the only possibility is that they are loose, another sign that points to loose motor mounts is sometimes when i shift from first to second i can hear something clink like faintly, kind of like something on the motor hitting the firewall or somethign because the motor is moving.

anyone have an idea for these things?

i changed my spark plugs today, NGK BKR7E's gapped at .28 like art told me, the spark plugs in the motor were really black on the ends, does this mean they were fouled?

is a can of tuna fish 3"? what do you just drill a hole in the tuna can and put the valve stem in it?

yeah...thats it. anything that is 3in OD will work. i had some home depot caps i bought that said "3in " but ended up being 3 1/2 OD and would fit..grrr so i ended up looking around the house for something that would work

get a spray bottle and fill it with soapy water. spray it in the places you think you hear a leak and youll see tons of bubbles show up.

so after fixing my big vac/boost leak.... i found another one! the adjustment nut and bolt on the back of the bov leaks! some teflon tape should fix it.
