Causes of Rough Idle when.....
What are the causes of rough idle when the truck is in gear ? Put it in neutral and smooth as silk . (1980)400M/C6 4x4 . There are no vacuum leaks , new plugs , cap / rotor etc...
If it idled erratic in park/neutral I`d suspect a vacuum leak but its smooth . Ideas , thoughts ??
Thanks
Jeff

[updated:LAST EDITED ON 19-Nov-02 AT 07:15 PM (EST)]You know thats a darn good idea because now that I think of it , putting on the brake , it does get worse . I`m going to check that as soon as the monsoon around here stops
Last weekend I checked the vacuum at idle , with the truck in park and the reading is rock steady at 14 . No fluctuations at all on the gauge , if it was worn engine components , the vacuum would wander or jump . At least thats been my experience so far with engines . Thanks for the tip .

Jeff check the booster by taking of the vaccuum line going to the booster and blocking the end. If the idle smoothes out then you definitely have a bad booster. I just recently had to change mine.

Thanks Seymour , I never did get that far but I have Friday off and its going to be SUNNY so I`ll mess with that first . You know , like some other 400M`s I`ve heard , I have a couple(few) noisey rockers and I`m wondering if that would be enough to make it idle lumpy ??
