Help Please!!!
 
Ok i removed my rats nest and i when i start the car,Makes a LOUD ASS noise!Sounds like the belt sliping(alternator) < I didnt put the dual one (yet) But i'm worried is a vacuum leak or something else? It's Loud and i cant hear where it comes from. Could it be a vac leak? Would it be that loud?......Will i get a check engine light if i have a vac leak?



Thanks guys.............Sorry "ABOOT" the bad grammar

Look at the ACV block off plate, if you use a chunk of metal that is not thick enough this can cause a very loud vacuum leak (I did this before lol) Make sure to take a trouble light and ensure that you have all the vacuum lines hooked up at the base of the carb. But you say it sounds like a belt slipping??? Like a loud squeeling??? The big thing with removing the rats nest is checking your connections over and over making sure they are tight or else you will have problems.

And I forgot to mention if this doesnt help take a can of carb cleaner and spray it around areas that are potential vacuum leak spots. If the idle increases you have found where the leak is...

That could be it!!! Thanks ........One more thing tho,My car is A GSL-SE ,With the TII manifolds and stock ECU......I have the block off plates and i used silicone sealant .....< No gasket material! LOL I knew that woulnt be enough :D ......I'll check that tomorrow.....Thanks again

Another question? Where can i get gasket material? A big picece that i can cut and make my own seals or gaskets?

Dan_s_young 06-02-05 12:08 AM

most local autostores have big pieces of gasket material that you can cut to shape. My local auto parts store has a 3 pack that you can buy with a 3 different types of material, cork, and 2 rubber ones of different thicknesses

Sweet thanks....What would be better? cork or rubber?

Dan_s_young 06-02-05 12:13 AM

I would use rubber with a good silicon on it to seal it up nicely, make sure to snugg it up nice and tightly

TurboSE 06-02-05 12:21 AM

OK! I'll do that

Thank You sir :bigthumb:

TurboSE 06-04-05 01:02 AM
