    Car dies when not under load

    I just replaced my cracked intake manifold and now my car dies when I don't have my foot on the gas, the Rpms drop to about 700 and then it dies when I have the car idling it dies after first starting and run at 1500 then drops.

    Sounds like a leak. Make sure all the vacuum lines are hooked back up.
