Intake Leak..........Need Help Plz
Hey every one. I got a little problem. My have has a leak from the back of the intake mani. It is NOT a gasket. I was feeling around and i realized that the hose next to the main one (that is connected to brake booster) does not have anything connected to it. I put my fingure on it and it does suck in air.
What connects to it? I also do have a code P0410. And some times my o2 sensor codes come on. P0141 and P0161. I also done have much air coming out of my driver side vents.
Any ideas????

You'll have to unbolt, and then move the manifold a few inches forward to get at the vacuum fitting to make a proper repair.

same question here - do the hvac vents open/close properly? - or are they all open at the same time? (likely)-- -- it Is possible to get the small brown plastic vac hose back in that fitting without removing the manifold but it takes lots of wiggling and cursing. The line commonly drops down a couple of inches when it slips out of the fitting. Look for it coming out of the larger plastic wire loom that comes up from under the battery.

Hey thanks for the help, I found the small hose that connects to it. It was a little hard to locate but i put it back in place and now my a/c works great and no more noise. And i think it will clear my code and check light.
