Re: It's running, how do I get to the exhaust shop?

Have you checked everything over real good to make sure you didnt miss anything?
I don't see any open ports on the intake so here's a dumb question - where is the brake booster vacuum *supposed* to come from? I clipped the end of a fitting on the pass side /rear to find vacuum.

Another thought I had is that the O2 sensors are seeing clean air. Would the PCM just keep adding fuel to try and get A/F down from an infinite number? This afternoon, I'll remove the sensors, throw the O2 codes and see if the computer will find a limp home baseline that I can work with.
