Ok so this morning when I started my car it kind of struggled to start at first....like it couldnt stay up at normal idle. Then later after like 6 hours of not driving, i started it again and it did the same thing. Theres also this like fizzing/sizzing (like the sound a snake would make) sound when it is in park or when I brake. So I have no idea if it has to do with the brakes or something wrong with my ignition. I'm due for a tuneup actually I'm like 5k late and once I get some free time Im gonna do it, but what do you guys think is up?
Dropped woohoo!

thanx mole

is this a minor problem? how much would it cost to fix?

Ive been looking into it on the net and coudl it possibly be the EGR valve PCV value? Ive noticed carbon build up on the tip of my exhaust and that was one of the symptoms.

lol if its just a vaccum line that could have fallen out all you need to do is plug it back in...


if you can find which one is broken then all you need to do is replace it autozone seels the rubber you just gotta tell them the diamter.

DONT do the whole dishwashing soap on the lines to see if it bubbles........ITS A VACCUM LINE so you will just suck it in.....i know this sounds like common sense but a friend of mine did it.....

What about the propane spray on the lines? :P That didnt seem that safe to me, are the vacuum lines located near the intake manifold?
