Holy run-on sentence!!! I'm thinking a video would help, too.

Do you have a mechanic's stethoscope or a 3 foot long piece of hose you could put to your ear to help pinpoint the noise?

Never-mind found out what was wrong with it got a leak at intake thanks anyway. And u know what would help me, people to stop thinking their better than other people. If i wanted to get criticized on my grammar i'd be typing on a English forum not a Cherokee forum.

This IS an English forum lol. You're gonna hear about it everytime you post. Save the hassle, don't be a lazy typist.

Never thought I was better. Just a bear to read run-on sentences and reduces my urge to help.
