AHHH...one of my favorites.....

Grab a friend who smokes, and a piece of duct tape. remove the air cleaner from the throttle body and cover the throttle body opening with the tape. remove the brake booster hose from the booster, and have your buddy Puff away into the hose...Where the smoke leaks out, is where the vacuum leaks in....

Been doing this for years, and it hasnt failed me yet.

If You wanted Dealership Service, You wouldnt Go To "Discount Quik Lube" , So why did you Walk into a dealership Expecting QUIK LUBE PRICING????

Ma'am, It costs so much money, because ...I CAN, And you CANNOT, And It matters Not to Me, Because I HAVE A RIDE HOME.

Am I to assume 3.2/3.5 V6???...The first thing to look at is the transfer tube from the egr valve to the bottom of the plenum....There is a rubber grommet that must be fitted properly or it will tear and leak vacuum.
