Not over the internet You have to know where all the hoses go & resolve the issues You should have engine vacuum diagram under the hood A shop can smoke check for vacuum leaks & save you time there
check for a vaccuum leak this is where i would start if it rolled into my shop. possibly a PCV valve sticking or a hole in the hose, this hose should run from the valve cover, or crank case and then to the intake, or carb.
I would check vaccuum hoses are all connected and unbroken.
Sounds like maybe when it "backfired" it popped a vaccuum line loose.
The way I check for Vaccuum leaks is spray WD-40 the entire length of each hose while it is running, when vaccuum sucks in the WD-40 it will "Rev" the engine some.
I think you are talking about a vent hose. The new vehicles haven't used vacuum controls on trannys for a long time. Yours would be computer controlled. In short, the hose probably hooks to nothing....
Yea they can be trickey if you dont know what your looking for but what you can do is get a CLEAN spray bottle,fill it with WATER!and spray all the vacuum hoses you can see and when the water gets sucked thru the vac. leak the car will stumble or hesitate but you should be able to notice a difference once ya hit the sewwt spot and dont worry this method is completly safe. have a good day DB
I had the same problem and it was dure to a vacum leak. If you want to check it, look on the right (passenger) side against the fender and you will see a little plastic vacum regulator with two hoses going to it.
