Getting the Wheeling Fever
I replaced my positive terminal conector on the battery and now the engine will not idle while cold at all? I do have it ideling right now (after warming it up)and the strange thing is its smoother than it has ever been.

Can anyone help?

I have the signatures turned off, so I still don't know what kind of vehicle you have.

It sounds as though you have a vacuum leak. I am going to make a stab in the dark and guess that it is the line that runs down to the air pump. It is pretty easy to displace and it is the only vacuum line close to the battery.

Thanks for the response Jim.
I got it. It was in fact a vacuum leak but it was the line coming off of the TB in the back by the firewall. How it came off? Probably when I screamed because I was so pissed off trying to solve the electrical issue.
Thanks again.
