i have looked high and low for a leak, even did a smoke test and nothing. oh well, guess ill start looking again

 

I actually have a whistling noise too at high temps. People said it was the belt and they tightened it down but still makes that whine. I guess I may have a vacuum leak as well. Does anyone know the most popular places to check

 

Can of throttle body cleaner sprayed around the intake and it's hoses at an idle. When you hit a leak, you'll know it. Never hurts to snug up the intake manifold bolts as they are prone to backing off.

 

Replaced my CCV hose with a piece the guys at Napa matched up. You can also check the brake booster line

 

Which hose? Front or rear?

 

Where exactly is this intake and its hose? The rear ccv?

 

The one closest to the firewall

 

So rear one then. I noticed that mine has a dent in the rod. I will be replacing but I just dont know where to buy the part.

 

Replace them both and be done with it. Napa has them. Make sure the fitting on the intake manifold isn't all gunked up, too.

 

mine happened to.be the map vac line

 

Do you know the part # by chance?

 

Sounds erotic

 

I thought the ccv was just to release extra pressure, does it really effect your idle? Cause I've been trying everything to get my 88 to quit stalling when I take off from stop signs and to idle right. I know this thread isn't about my problem and don't want to hijack it, but I figure it's the same topic why start a new one

 

It is metered air and it DOES affect idle.

 

Good to know, thanks cruiser
