okay...i dont know what it is...i initially thought catalytic converter or exhaust. But here's my symptoms, just throw me some ideas
- Car smells like exhaust fumes - Bad gas mileage - Loud hissing sound when throttling - Between 3k-4k RPM's the car shudders and lurches a lot and I either have to keep the RPM's a little higher or a little lower. - Loss of power/torque GO! -------------------- Sometimes we live to beat the odds.

Use carb or intake cleaner -- spray it on the vacuum points you suspect of being the source of the leak. Hear a difference, you've identified the leak.
