Vacuum Leak!

Check Engine Light came on. I took it to Advance and they said it was a vacuum leak. I should have gotten a code but thats what he told me. Where are the most common vacuum leaks?


Here is the tricky part. I need to get my car emissions before the 8th. Why? If you get your car emissions after your birth date, they charge you a late fee. I don't want to pay a late fee. I need help. Got any idea where that look could be. I look and looked...can't find nothing. I don't hear any strange hissing noise or anything out of the ordinary. Any suggestions?

we need the codes

its probably related to the egr system,,have you cleaned the port and passage system inside the intake manifold yet? must remove intake and clean, 2 hour diy at casual pace

you removed the plastic engine cover and looked at the vac lines there-around the throttle body
Have you seafoamed it?

we dont have a common vac leak---EXCEPT!! the front and rear motor mounts
are vac boosted--failure of one will cause a vac leak you cant hear or see

ck those out- look for signs of oil drip from mount and apply a vac pump/guage to test

I looked everywhere. I took off the shield and checked everywhere. I can't anything. I haven't cleaned the ports. Do you think that would do it? I haven't seafoamed it
