possible intake issue.


Recommended Posts

Hello. After my 05 lgt was stolen finally got replacement. 05 lgt as well. Drives nicely, no codes etc. My wife drove it mostly last week, and I just did cobb stg1 this weekend. Drove it today a bit and I noticed that when I stop sometimes it almost stalls. Tend to happen more if I come to complete stop, hit gas for second and stop again. Doesn't do it often. Also I notices intake is louder when turbo spools then my previous lgt. Also sound of recirc. Valve is louuder.

Should I check for air leaks or something else ? If it does have leak somewhere, how would that affect any reading that I can do with accessport ? Had vac. House leak in previous one, but this time it doesn't happen always and it is not that bad. Thanks.

A quick and cheap way to check for a vac leak is to:

-pick up a can of carb cleaner

-while idling, spray a short burst in different areas around the intake tract

 

If the engine revs higher, you are near the leak.

 

Some folks have leaks that are only discoverable on a cold engine, but more often than not it's a loose hose or one that is completely off.

No, the name has nothing to do with bragging about 20 inch wheels...
