[cyborg]

Hi Guys, my name is Cyborg. I was reading an article and i came across the word engine vacuum leak. Can anyone explain me more about engine vacuum leak?

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.

Is there any other problem that we face other than stalling when the engine vacuum is leaking?

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.
