Asking this question because I'm inexperienced and don't completely understand how all of the vacuum stuff works yet... I replaced the choke pull off two days ago. I was getting rough cold starts (engine was chugging, smoke from the tail pipe)... It would crank right up then run like crap for the next 3 minutes and then would finally smooth out. Anyway, replacing the choke pull off fixed all of that. Excellent cold starts and faster warm ups.
The other result is that the overall performance has improved remarkably. All of the power seems to be back, smoother idle, and much smoother shifts. It's like a different car. Am I to understand that a defective choke pull off creates a vacuum leak that affects the way the engine runs even after warming up? Sorry if this seems elementary. Looked around on the web and couldnt really find answers. :sad2:
