thanks for the reply Tony! i guess i'll try replacing the popcharger back to oem and see if that helps. as goes for crashnburn's idea, luckily i have a stethascope at home so i'll try that method as well. should i be listening for a faint hissing sound?

 

Thats a very good way to trouble shoot.

1) Stethoscope. It will hiss when you go over the leak.
2) Try the stock box if its pop-charger related that will fix it.

 

+1 on the rough idle.

 

Basically the same method I normally use (short length of garden hose). I have also used freon (makes it stumble) but then that is no longer considered environmentally friendly and is harder to get. A little bit of propane also works as long as you are careful.

 

using the stethascope method u will def hear the leak if u have 1..

 

I thought I had a leak too but I guess not because my car runs fine.
