Re: hard start after vacum leak

It would bounce a few times before settling at a normal idle. I supected that some combination of a vacuum leak or PCV issue caused oil to get into the AACV and make it stick. Once warm, the IACV takes over and all is fine. Once I track down my minor vacuum leak and make sure the new PCV is working correctly, I plan to intake some seafom into the AACV.
I have to take the car back for some exhaust work in a week or so, my mechanic knows about the problem im having, should I have him clean up the pvc or does it sound like.a vacum leak was missed somewhere
