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]

ok, I located the leaky vacuum hose, and replaced it, while I was back, there I also cleaned out my intake(ewwww)
but.... my check engine light is still on do I have to reset something, or is there something else gone wrong with my car? -------------------- [img]http://photos-081.facebook.com/n6/081/n15913038_30266081_3342.jpg[/img]
