vacuum leak possibly.

 

where can i find the vacuum leak?

 

how do i find the vacuum leak? any other suggestions?? help please...

 

Spray around the suspected area with carb cleaner, if the revs pick up, you found your leak.

 

Don't use carb cleaner. Use water. It's much safer.

The problem could be due to many things, but a vacuum leak tops the list. Strange problems like this can be attributed to the TPS being out of adjustment (search) or the BAC valve (search).

 

whoa, i just saw my magnecore wires that run to the spark plugs all chewwed up by prolly a rat or something..alot of the wire were practically exposed. could this be the culprit to my sudden problems?
