too much air can be caused by binding throttle cable/linkage try disconnecting it. Next would be cold air bypass that lets extra air in for cold weather and initial startup. It would be located on the throttle body
with 2 wires that operate a solenoid. These become gummed up and can be cleaned with carburetor cleaner. Next the EGR valve on the intake manifold could be leaking. Check for cracks or leaks and sometimes the base it mounts to is plastic and wears out. Lastly is the dreaded vacuum leak. There are so many places and hoses to check that I would need to see for myself. The larger hose can go to power booster for brakes. Intake manifold gasket can also leak due to worn gasket.
I just fixed mine this weekend and ran into the same problems with the dealership. Plus, there are TWO plastic "Y" connectors and each of those assemblies would have to be purchased...installed etc. Dealership will NOT sell the individual plastic part without all the extra stuff that doesn't need replacing. So...I built my own. By replacing the plastic "Y" pieces with brass "T" and short pipes. And putting new hose, I replaced both assemblies. I make a procedure document (pdf) but I'm not sure how to post that. I'd attach some pictures...but would be too small to get the gist. :( Hopefully I find a way to attach/share a document.
There's not usually a seal for these, the metal is commonly molded into the plastic sides of the radiator.. Remove the radiator tube and inspect the plastic around the fitting for cracks. If you find cracks in the plastic, then you know your answer. If it's leaking from around the radiator hose you could try replacing the clamp with a hose clamp that you can tighten with a screw driver.
My guess is the plastic is cracked there, and the radiator needs replaced, but you should inspect it first of course.
1. drain coolant
2. remove engine cover
3. remove the 2 bolts from water hose connection (upper rad hose connecting to)
4. remove o-ring and thermostat
5. repeat in reverse order
could be one of the two radiator hoses. There are also two hoses in back that go to the heater core. All of these connections attach to plastic nozzles on the radiator and also the ones on the heater core are plastic and can crack. Also check radiator condensor for leaks.
