Wives car and as soon as this is fixed it's going in the trash can.
On my way back from Dallas on christmas day this piece of junk started to run horribly. Noticed a huge vacuum leak when i got home. So big that the brakes were hard.
I pull the little cover off the throttle body and look at the intake and see a hole melted in it. Not broken, cracked but melted into the plastic. This is right where the EGR valve has the little pipe that points down stream of the intake.
I've had to put a new intake on and am going to put a new EGR valve on today.
My question is has this reared it's ugly head to any of you folks? What do you all think the issue is. Once I get this fixed I'm trading this piece of shit in on a new car.
Yes I realize its an exploder. Not worth fixing.
