Hi everyone!
I've been doing in the past few days some maintenance work on my car (Escort 1998 SE 2.0L SOHC) and, after now having a car that runs smoother and stronger than ever, I have been searching for a possible vacuum leak after reading positive long-term fuel trims at idle.
I listened to the engine through a spare hose and managed to find the source of a vacuum leak. The part that seems to leak is unkown to me, despite a pretty long research on the internet tonight.
Here is the source of the vacuum sound (image taken from the internet that I edited) :
I could take a better and closer picture tomorrow on my own car if that helps.
Well, I found another picture on google that gives a closer view (green arrow) :
The sound seems to be coming from the end of the part, where the arrow is pointing. If anyone knew what that part is, it'd allow me to fix that leak!
Thanks for your help!
