This car has 209,000 miles on it. I've only owned it for four months. It was a bargain :)


1.) How long has the car bin sitting before that?

24-48 hours.


3.) If you would have a vacuum leak you would notice a different in the way it runs.

The only difference, recently, is that it has not idled as smoothly as normal. This is not major.


4.) have you cheked your airfilter, if it has a slight oil build up.

Air filter was basically dry. It had oil on one corner. Closest to where the hose connects. Not mist. This was drops that had come through the massive flow meter, etc.
