    It's obviously a vac leak.

    Seriously though more information might help us figure this out.

    ^^ Yeah, I drew a frame of a man running on each fan blade. That is him running at idle

    well i got this ford truck and it has a 460 with a edelbrock carb and the truck is idling high and sputtering after i turn the switch off. It is hard to start back but at time then sometimes it idles fine and low just right. Well i took the idle screw out some to see if thats it and hell its still high and running by its self with no screw at all WTF ????
