Well..... I cleaned the fitv and iacv, I reset my ecu, I topped off the tank until I saw gas and reset the odometer... Today I started the car and it quit surging! I got on the freeway with half the throttle!

I was able to maintain leanburn with up to 3/4 pedal down! I could finally feel lean burn actually go in and out! The motor quit whistling when at 2000rpm+

I drove 50mi to work, and 50mi home. I got home and topped off the gas until I could see gas........

It took 1.212 gal of gas! It was actually a little less, but I spilled some because I didn't believe it... 82mpg!

I guess I had a he'll of a vac leak! I'm not going to officially claim 80mpg until I get a week of driving under my belt!
