I decided to get my ODB scanner out and check for pending codes, I knew there wasn't any hard codes since the check engine light wasn't on, turns out there is a code pending for P2111 , when I looked it up it is a throttle body code. I am going to get some CRC Throttle Body Cleaner and see if that cleans up the condition.
Makes sense that sitting for such periods of time some of that carbon that is usually built up may have hardened on causing it not to close all the way.
My initial thought was transmission since the old Dodge van would go to limp mode and it was transmission related. I hate that vehicles are so computerized nowadays. Give me a Holley 4 barrel and 4 speed and I'm good.
I let you know how it turns out. But thanks for those reminders about the vacuum hoses, those do rot over time.
