I have what appears to be a vacuum leak on a 2000 Seville SLS with 151k miles. It idles like crap, gallops, barely runs. If I give it any gas at all, it runs pretty well. This problem has slowly been creeping up, and due to other problems (oh so many problems...) the car has been parked a couple months, and now when warmed up the car barely stays running at idle.
Checked the intake bolts, they were a hair bit loose and they have been retorqued to spec, but no change. Car has a loud hiss from the engine that I believe has got worse with time and the retorque did not change this. I got some water and proceeded to spit it (directed spray, didn't have a spray bottle handy) around the intake and then around the throttle body. When I spit at the rubber 'donut' around the intake, I get a loud slurping sound. This doesn't seem normal.
Anyone else experienced a problem in this area? So far I've been unable to find just that donut, and it doesn't seem to come with an intake gasket set. Am I stuck going to the dealer (and am I stuck paying for a whole new intake?)...
Anyone want to buy a 2000 Seville with no TC lockup and a broken intake? Didn't think so.
