^^True, if it's a small leak... but if it's a loose or torn coupler; or even if he hit a rock and has a small hole in the IC, it will run pig rich and fall on its face pretty quickly trying to boost.

I would almost wonder if the actuator itself is toast; but I don't think that would cause it to be rich at idle. I would still grab the armature and actuate it manually a few times just to make sure it isn't too mushy- just to be sure.

Plugs could also be crapped out... New plugs do wonders at idle as well as under load...

Or the timing could be a bit retarded... should be 17BTDC @idle IIRC.

My gut says it's something simple.
