So im most likely going to be ordering the AGA kit and doing the seals sometime in april but before that...

Id like to try a few things yet for the reason of nothing at least in my car points to the seals...

Plugs have no oil on them, and normally with bad seals youd smoke on startup along with while driving.

Another issue is if you have your foot on pedal and idle it hot at lets say 1500 rpm you wont ever get any smoke...


So the ideas id like to try but dont have any knowledge about them really.. Ive done some searching but empty handed...

1. Can you increase idle through software (i know terminatorX was talking about this in other thread).


2. Is it possible to just cap off all the ports? Im wondering what effects there would be if any, my old hoses are cut-up but i still run the catch cans so its like stock just with a can... But getting rid of it all together... And the plastic caps do still have those breather ports so it wouldnt be 100% sealed unless need be with the orange up/down rubbers.

Any thoughts appreciated.
