Hissing sound coming from rear
Hissing sound coming from rear
I'm not entirely sure where it's coming from as I haven't gone under the car to check it out, but it seems to be coming from just in front of the rear wheels. What could be causing a hissing sound back there? I have a 95 SE (completely stock). Any ideas?

Try this: With the car off, turn the ingnition switch to the "on" position without starting the engine. You should hear a hissing sound for a couple seconds, as the fuel pump primes - is this the sound you're hearing? It sounds the same, but continuous when the car is running.
If that's not it, you may have an exhaust leak - inspect the muffler and b-pipe for holes/cracks - if necessary, you may be able to patch it with an exhaust patch kit from your local auto parts store. If it's really bad, you may need to replace either the b-pipe or muffler.
