Subject:No idle/odd running.

So all my vac lines are correct.  All intake rubber is clamped, sealed,
tight.  I cannot figure out why Totoro won't idle or stay running. I tried
starting it with the AFM disconnected to see if that changed anything. It
did.  It started and surged up to about 3000 rpm and stayed there and ran
fairly well.  As soon as I start it with the AFM hooked up it doesn't
idle.  It seems like I have a huge air leak, but I really don't think I
do.  I didn't disturb the idle stabilizer. other than disconnecting the
vac lines from the intake.  It is all back toether correctly.  It is very
strange.  I seem to have a small exhaust leak at the first cyl where the
head pipe bolts to the head. Could this have anything to do with my
problem. I feel as though I am in the dark without a Bentley.
