So, I am wandering around the engine compartment, and noticing that all these places where the grey tubes used to go... if you take those off, the thing sucks air!

Where do all these holes go to? Where does that air end up?

I tried plugging them with gum, sucked it down! Cork, sucked it down! I whittled little plugs from a green piece of wood, yep, sucked it down!

I tried, in succession, mud, oily rags, balloons, epoxy, and small pebbles. Sucked them all down! I even tried forcing pieces of an old interior into the holes, that works until it gets hot, and the vinyl melts... "SHOOP!"

Where is this stuff going?

My car is running really rich when it's hot now, I was thinking if I could fill the area up where all the stuff is getting sucked into, I would save a little gas money.

Seanery told me that german motors need sand, what kind of sand do you guys use?

Have you tried a wad of $100 bills? If you do can you tell me how many it takes to finally plug the hole? I've gone through several stacks and it keeps wanting more.....just would like to know how much further I have to go is all. w00t.gif

WHOA!!! Expanding foam out of a can is the ticket man! Spray in while running. That sand stuff won't plug it up at all.

Pack the holes with Hormel's potted meat. Anything that contains partially defatted beef fatty tissue and mechanically seperated chicken should work.
