@foxdmulder - Hey buddy, please don't say something against Scotty, there are a lot of people that finds his ways helpful and very practical also, about the driveway he works on, who knows whats the real deal why is he working on his driveway, he might be retired already and just fixing things here and there for fun, cheers bud, no offence, thanks :)
he knows what he is doing.just knowing how to replace the parts does not make you a mechanic.infact it's the skill required to diagnose the problem makes a good technician.keep up the good work.cheeers
would that problem go back to '88? i had a '88 2.4 gm engine that would do the same thing, ended up actually selling it because it continued to get progressively worse. until i started driving with two feet just to keep the engine revved up.
@sbakar scotty kilmer wouldnt come near these guys, you couldnt even put him in the same league, his ethics and procedures are sloppy and messy, he promotes the use of every chemical under the sun to repair leaks that will cause more damage than good, he claims to be an award winning technician with years of experience and yet he works from his driveway!
@moofushu long nosed pliers will help make this an easy job. Whenever a 2.4 shows up with these symptoms, i always check these hoses. Many times they get pierced. these engines have a few common problems - engine knock, fuel injector leakages, map sensor hose....at least they do get a cavalier moving quite fast!!
@moofushu When i was going through college, someone asked my fuel systems teacher why cars aren't made in a way so they can be easily serviced. His answer was car manufacturers don't really give a damn if the car gets fixed or not. They'd much rather you go out and buy a new car every time yours broke down.
Great video, nice fix on a common engine! Did you suspect that vacuum hose right away because you had seen this before, or did you diagnose it after testing?
What a great find. This must have been a real puzzle when it was brought into the shop. Gotta wonder if there is some kind of dealer info bulletin warning that this can happen. How a shady tree mechanic finds this stuff out without connections must be a challenge.
Good vid. Shouldn't that problem set a code? Let's see. The MAP sensor sees high vacuum while the hose is open, and then it apparently loses the vacuum as the hose is pinched off. The MAP sensor will think the throttle is opened and it will send a signal to the computer.
@CoolasIce2 the reason the car is stalling at idle is because once the throttle is opened more the vacuum is reduced and the hose probably dosent pinch anymore. Since its doing it with the throttle untouched it will not set a code because the computer does not see tps changes. also as the car heats up its possible the hose expands a bit more.

Omg that hose was a tight fit. I wish they would make cars with a little more space to get at stuff but I guess they are not built to be serviced.
