If You look around and can't find anything obvious just spray some carb cleaner/starting fluid around vaccum hoses and upper to lower intake area. Have You done any work to the car lately or check engine light on? You can try pulling codes also. <br /> </font> </td></tr> </table></td></tr></table> <br /> <br />
