Exaust intake leaking

A vacuum leak in the intake manifold of a 2000 Ford F150 4x4 with a 4.6L engine and automatic transmission can cause a range of symptoms, including:

1. Rough idle: A vacuum leak can cause the engine to run rough at idle, which may be especially noticeable when stopped at a red light or stop sign.
2. Misfires: The engine may misfire or hesitate under load, such as when accelerating or climbing a hill.
3. Poor fuel economy: A vacuum leak can cause the engine to run lean, which can result in decreased fuel economy.
4. Check engine light: A vacuum leak can trigger a check engine light, which may indicate a code related to the engine's fuel system.
5. Stalling: In some cases, a vacuum leak can cause the engine to stall or die, especially at idle or when coming to a stop.
6. Hissing sound: A vacuum leak may cause a hissing sound to be audible from the engine compartment, especially if the leak is large or near the intake manifold.

If you suspect a vacuum leak, it's important to have it diagnosed and repaired as soon as possible, as it can cause damage to other engine components over time if left untreated. A mechanic can perform a smoke test or other diagnostic procedures to locate the source of the leak and repair it as needed.

NO VIn Told or country , 16 DOHC engine,+VVT
you forgot to scan the PCM ( USA car, OBD2 port)????????
lots of causes for near or for sure engine stalls
can you save the stall with fast right foot actions?? y/n
causes vast. it needs service,(means tests first)

• EGR valve stuck open and bad.
• ISC valve stuck or striking closed. clean it.
• injector leaks. or clogs.(injector balance tests)
• bad fuel
• bad spark parts (plugs and boots)coil pack & HV wire sets.
• never had a real tune up in 23 years, (bingo too common)
• engine bad, (burned head poppet valves)
• VVT failures in this DOHC engine.
• cam timing belt ignored for over 100k miles and slipped.
• there are tests to do and tools used to find each of these besides belts and spark parts service NOT DONE>

Intake air leaks, Incorrect Fuel Pressure, Injector valve defective or coked, Engine Temperature Sensor defective, EGR valve defective, Secondary air leak, Fuel evaporation control system defective or leaking. Air Mass Meter defective, Vacuum leaks, Oxygen sensor aging (slow response), Clogged or damaged catalytic converter, Contaminated fuel, Fuel tank ran empty Combustion altered by a mechanical failure (Spark plugs, compression, intake/exhaust valves, ...etc.)

This could be caused by unmetered air leaking past the EVAP, EGR or into the air intake system after the Air Mass Meter or a fuel pump delivery problem or clogged or damaged fuel injector.

your engine would be running rough like a fouled spark plug, a super hot exaust system is caused by a vacuum leak witch will also make the engine run rough at idle, a easy way to locate the vacuum leak is the spray parts of the intake system with WD40, intake manifold, vacuum hoses,

MAKE SURE THE ENGINE OIL IS CLEAN AND CHANGED AT PROPER INTERVALS
P0011 NISSAN - Intake Valve Timing Control Performance Bank 1

Symptoms - Engine Light ON (or Service Engine Soon Warning Light)
- Possible engine lack/loss of power
- Posssible engine rough idle
Possible causes - Harness or connectors
- Intake valve timing control solenoid valve circuit is open or shorted
- Intake valve timing control solenoid valve may be faulty
- Crankshaft position sensor (POS) may be faulty
- Camshaft position sensor
Tech notes Since the Intake valve timing control solenoid valve uses oil flow to control timing, dirty oil can cause the valve to stuck open or close. Before replacing the valve, change engine oil and filter and reset engine code. When is the code detected? When there is a gap between angle of target and phase-control angle degree, the valve will stop working and the ECM will trigger the P0011 code. P0011 NISSAN Description This mechanism hydraulically controls cam phases continuously with the fixed operating angle of the intake valve.

The ECM receives signals such as crankshaft position, camshaft position, engine speed, and engine coolant temperature. Then, the ECM sends ON/OFF pulse duty signals to the intake valve timing control solenoid valve depending on driving status. This makes it possible to control the shut/open timing of the intake valve to increase engine torque in low/mid speed range and output in high-speed range.

The intake valve timing control solenoid valve changes the oil amount and direction of flow through intake valve timing control unit or stops oil flow. The longer pulse width advances valve angle. The shorter pulse width retards valve angle. When ON and OFF pulse widths become equal, the solenoid valve stops oil pressure flow to fix the intake valve angle at the control position.
MAKE SURE YOUR OIL IS CLEAN AND CHANGED AT PROPER INTERVALS.

code p 0441 refers to evaporative emission (EVAP) system --incorrect flow detected ==== causes --- hose connection/s--- intake leak---EVAP canister purge valve replace the purge valve

thats a lean code which mean there is a vaccum leak or fuel flow is low. can be the fuel filter, most likely it is a vaccum leak, spray with carb spray around the intake and the hoses and see if the idle changes

Not the oil pump, the most likely cause is the intake and exhaust valve seals, this accounts for the smoke on start up

check the egr valve it sound to me that its stuck open and if this happens excessive exaust gases are flooding the intake or you might have a vacuum leak either one of these problems will make a high pitch sound

HI
P0400 :- (EGR) exhaust gas recirculation system -flow malfunction
the mine function of this system is economy of fuel and
keep clean air with low emission of bad gases and
hydrocarbon by recirculate the exhaust gas to the engine
intake to re burn the unburnt fuel
the problem cause from :-
hose leak \ blockage , wiring , EGR valve , EGR solenoid , ECM
