I did leave you a message today ZTuner (phone). Well, I'm pretty sure it's a vacuum/boost leak thats causing the problem. It's in the back driver side of the engine. When the car is turned off, I can hear a hissing sound in that part of the engine for about a full 8-10 seconds. The car also hates to keep anything near a consistent idle when started cold and also drops to 100-200 rpm when taken out of gear when driving (has actually died on the road before...). Fuel has been running quite rich. In the same corner of the engine, there is a vacuum hose plugged by a bolt. I have tried reconnecting this hose, but the car runs even worse when that is done.Some of the guesses some friends and I have come up with is: the EGR is stuck, just a cracked hose, tubro boot needs to be tightened, idle controller needs to be replaced, or the (I can't think of the proper name for it right now) vacuum pump for the engine is bad. Sadly I don't have the access to tools down here for college I had back home, so am quite limited, nor do I have the money to just start fixing random parts. I will try you back tommorrow, ZTuner. Appreciate the tips everyone!
