Question Vaccum Leak?????

got a check eng light a few days ago and finally found out that it is a Vaccum Leak because there is an air rushing/sucking sound on snap acceleration. I cannot find any disconnected hoses in the engine compartment, does anyone have any idea where/what the leak might be coming from? thxinadv

if it's actually loud enough to hear, then check around your throttlebody and airbox area


the easiest way to find a vacuum leak is by using throttlebody cleaner and spraying it around your engine bay. since it is a combustable substance, when it gets sucked in by your vacuum leak, the engine will rev and it will help you narrow down where to look
