bassim Posted March 10, 2014 Report Share Posted March 10, 2014 There is a vacuum system in the engine which works upon the air. Whenever there is a leak in that vacuum, problems like stalling of the car are noticeable. This is known as Engine Vacuum leaks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyborg Posted March 10, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 10, 2014 Is there any other problem that we face other than stalling when the engine vacuum is leaking? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lonely Posted March 15, 2014 Report Share Posted March 15, 2014 The idle speed of the car goes too fast if the engine vacuum is leaking. Other than that, the engine may feel hesitation and sometimes misfiring when you try to accelerate and drive fast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lonely Posted March 18, 2014 Report Share Posted March 18, 2014 Whenever there is an engine vacuum leak, always note that there excessive air entering in the engine which is causing lot of troubles in the engine. The idle speed becomes too fast whenever there is an engine vacuum leak. As mentioned before, you also experience stalling or rough idle in the engine. If the vacuum leak is very bad, then may be the engine wont idle at all. Also, sometimes one will experience misfiring or hesitation in the car whenever one try to accelerate more. All these are symptoms of engine vacuum leak. If you are facing any of these, dont ignore these signs and take your car for the vacuum leak diagnosis.
