[QUOTE="hmwave, post: 6782289, member: 10968"] Been a long time since the last post on this. I never did find the cause of the misfire and still have it. Over the past few months it has become much worse. I've noticed a distinctive, constant 'whistling' sound while sitting idling, a fairly quiet but clearly audible 'whhheeeeeeee' tone from the engine compartment. When I lightly blip the throttle the whistle disappears for a split second and then quickly returns to the same constant tone. A few weeks back I mistakenly gave the motor full boost for maybe three seconds in sixth before I realized. Immediately after the SES illuminated. I pulled the code and it indicated a small EGR system leak. I cleared the code and it hasn't returned. Appears there's a vacuum or other leak somewhere. Any advice for how to track down a vacuum leak, mechanics stethoscope, other? [/QUOTE]
