so as everyone probably already knows...my car has been doggy lately...

n e way...I'm now suspecing the EGR system...if I put ear down by the JWT filter while my car is running...I hear what I can best describe as a drum beat in addition to the normal sucking sound...it does NOT do this right when I start the car up...only after it's warmed up....it sounds really funky...and my car has NEVER made this sound before...

 

check the IAVV (idle air vent valve) first.. i cleaned mine.. made a world of diference

 

2 in a row...

 

where is it located...and how do I clean it???? I lost my Chilton's manual somewhere....

I'm pretty sure the IACV isn't the problem...my car idles fine...the only problem is full throttle acceleration...it feels downright weak....anyone else have any suggestions???
