Help Vacuum Leak (1 Viewer)

My rig sounds like a tea pot. When it is cold it is pretty quiet.

But after it warms up the idle is a bit rough, and it sounds like I am driving a Tea Pot. The crappy part is by the time I park get out and raise the hood the tea pot sound has gone. So its been a pain in the butt to find.

Any suggestions about how or where to look for this leak? I am guessing its a vacuum leak, a vacuum hose diagram may help me. My FSM is on its way but probably wont be here this weekend.

Do a search for "whistle" or similar. I know others have had an issue with plastic cnipples breaking of fittings. Are you sure it isn't a bearing whine?

Oh yea I am sure it is not bearing whine, it happends when I stop. I will check the platic pieces.

Thank you

The easiest way to find vacum leaks is with a can of ethur. Just spray a LITTLE while the engine is running her and there and when the engine rpm picks up you know your in the right area.

Thank you I will do that, I have a big can of either. Somebody else told me to use propane as well. I like the either better.
