Symptoms Of Vacuum Leak?


Recommended Posts

I recently replaced my valve cover gaskets, but have a lingering "whistle" in the intake area. I am assuming that this is just a vacuum leak that I haven't located yet. I have noticed a number of symptoms that may, or may not, be attributable to this leak.

1) Declining idle. I did not (stupid me) clean the IACV when I had the intake plenum off.

2) Weak acceleration. Car seems very sluggish

3) Shifting sometimes at very high RPMs and/or slow to downshift under load

4) I have a small coolant leak from the hose under the EGR valve. What symptoms would this contribute to?

Any advice is appreciated.

JM
