guys, my engine has been idling rough lately, I am noticing a hissing noise coming from behind the intake manifold, and I have lost a little bit of acceleration, plus a little bit of backfire. Now I know thaT Backfire is caused by leftover fuel that wasn't burned.
so my question is, Is there some kind of sensor calling for more fuel? Is there some kind of vacuum hose loose? any ideas would be helpful oh and I've heard that the check engine light usually relates to pollution control devices in the engine. please help me with any ideas. -Jim -------------------- [img]http://photos-081.facebook.com/n6/081/n15913038_30266081_3342.jpg[/img]

whey did you run it with a blocked up vacuum hose, is it because it tricks the regulator into adding more fuel
thus the rough idle? -------------------- [img]http://photos-081.facebook.com/n6/081/n15913038_30266081_3342.jpg[/img]
