Vacuum leak?

[SaxoFurio1988]

Haynes manual has pointed out that i may have a vacuum leak at the throttle body or the inlet?

How will i know if this was the case and how would i go about to sort it out?

Also what would the symptoms of a blocked injector be?

Garage has given up on my car as they cannot verify the problem.

No, basically just when im driving along all of a sudden the car will just pull itself back a bit. Its all the time though, not just now and again.

Its had a diagnostics and shit.

a vaccuum leak. you mean like its drawing air? check every breather hose for any rips or small cuts that air could leak out mate

Whatever it means lol.. Just going by the haynes manual.

All hoses seem to be intact with no rips or anything.

could it be a partially blocked cat?

If you put your hand around the inlet whilst its running you should be able to see/feel/hear a leak.

Or take the inlet off and give it the once over.

Don't have a cat.

Have thought about taking the inlet off. Is it a difficult job? Im fine with getting the throttle body off, just never attempted the inlet.
