When i was driving around yesterday i kept hearing a sucking sound when ever i got on it. I'm thinking it might be a leak but i don't know where, or from what. Any ideas?  _________________

I saw the title to this thread and started to laugh so hard. A sucking sound.  _________________ Thirdgenless |

| Just tell people that your engine is so big and powerful that the sound is created by loads of air running through your air cleaner. That way you'll have an explaination for all the birdies stuck in your grill and an excuse when you crash in the Patomac River. |

A reference to the one running through DC that had an airplane dive into it recently, I of course only joke cause everyone lived.
I should shutup and let everyone get back on topic. |

Most likely a vacuum leak... unless you put in some K&N filters or some other ones just like them. Mine always make a sucking sound now. _________________

I was always a fan of the duck whistle stock on a blowoff valve
