Suspect manifold leak but location near firewall at rear of motor. Is there an easy way to find it?
SOURCE: How to easily find a leak in an inlet manifold ?
Any vehicle will run poorly with an intake manifold leak. One easy way to test for a leak is to (while the engine is still fairly cool) spray carb and choke cleaner/starting fluid around the base of the intake. You only need a small amount: if there is a leak in between the manifold and the heads, your RPMs will increase until the engine sucks all the carb cleaner in.
The PCV valve is located 60 degrees from the driver side. Under the intake manifold coming off the center. Just about a blocks length of distances there is a Z-connector running down the side of the firewall cover. Once you locate the rear motor arm move directly down (horizontally) to the female extender. Open the cover and press lightly with strong mussels on the clamp hoses. Release the rear bumper and jiggle the left arm firmly until the latch reconnects. Disconnect the latch again. The PCV valve should be in plain sight now. It's nearly impossible to local on a rainy day and just as easy when the suns outs puns outs. The Dealership swears the Part # Z-SPARTA1 fits the 2011 models, however, check with your local emissions office to ensure road safety compatibility.
