update* spend the whole evening checking and rechecking the vacuum lines all over the engine no leaks. i am starting to suspect this may be related to the smart track system malfunctioning (works on dry roads, don't work at ALL in snow). On tuesday when i get paid i am gonna get a bottle of lucas fuel treatment and hope for the best because in 7 days i am going to be somewhere between central PA and Salt lake City, Utah hopefully motoring along :P
