the only vaccum i unplugged was the one to the throttle body and left the plugs in. i notice when i turn the throttle(where the cable is) on the throttle body away ( to the front of the car) the car idles correctly, but then if i rev it on the gas pedal, it doesnt go back to that position

check the cable to make sure its not binding, that is if you have a cable. make sure the gasket is not hitting against the tb butterflies and holding it from closing.

Also does anyone have experience with falken tires or even falken tires one 4th gens?[/quote]

i havent had them on a fourth gen but i have run them on a built dodge neon, (no laughs, i was making 325hp to the front wheels) they are great tires they just dont last long, i couldnt get much over a years use out of them, but they are great while they last

this is a 3.8 right? i dont think 3.8 has or needs bleeders. look for the high point in the cooling system and see if theres a plug or valve. my truck just has a plug to take lose. anyways you can also park on a incline with the up side to the front of the car to help any air to move to the top of the radiator.

mine is a 5.7 , i let the car run with the cap off, saw some bubbles and when it started to run over i capped it. drove it out of hell last night and didnt over heat, seems okay, i noticed that the car doesnt have that little stumble anymore on take offs, could that waterpump pulley been that bad?
