I told them I never cleared the codes since I last read them and to re-read the codes with my Mac Tools tool which I keep in the car. They did get those again, but said they are generic codes. They did a smoke test after that and found that thete is a leak where the vacuum tube goes from the brake booster to the intake. It doesn't appear that this is a serviceable part, so they recommend replacing the intake. Stealership price for an intake is $2300.... lol. They already knew my answer to that. I'm picking it up tomorrow and it'll get a bead of black RTV. Hopefully this will be problem solved. I'll report my findings.

Mr. Svtmerc,

did you happen too see where the shop mechanic connected the smoke machine? I want too look for a vacuum leak on my 05 limited roadster, but I'm not sure where to introduce the smoke.

sorry I don't have any suggestions for your situation.


thanks much
