I know where the vacuum leak is I just don't know what the part is. It's on the back side of the motor all the way to the left, its round and its attached to the plenum. Pretty sure it's a seal but I've looked up engine schematics online still can't find a part.I just need to know the name of a part or the name of the seal I need to get. I know it's not the plenum but at least I think I know because when I spray all over the Plenum it does not do anything. Don't bog down but until I spray that round piece on the back left of the plenum so I can get the seal for it. Because as soon as hit it with starter fluid the engine bogs down bad and idles way high specially when you first startup.

It is a little hard to make that part out. Take a look at these and tell me if this is the part. That looks like the intake manifold runner control valve solenoid.

If so, you can find this part under that name or the acronym of IMRC.

Let me know if this is not it and we can keep looking but I am pretty sure that is it. Thanks

Yes it is. I looked at engine diagram after engine diagram on the internet none of them I saw have that part name of that part. Thank you so much. Pretty sure it's just the seal. I wonder if I have to the whole part or if I can just buy the seal for it oh and thank you so much. I even stopped by AutoZone and they couldn't even identify the part.

Great. Glad that was it. I doubt you will find that seal as most will just replace the part. You may be able to find it a dealer but I don't see one available on general parts sites which is not uncommon.

Please come back to 2CarPros. Thanks
