Vacuum leak through missing TB bolt?
This may be a REALLY DUMB question, but sadly I just don't know the answer. I do have some theories but I'm not sure ... so here goes.
While looking head-on at the throttle body in my 2004 MSM, I noticed that the bottom right of the four bolts (holding the TB to the intake manifold) is missing. If the other three are tight, would there be a vacuum leak? Either way, I intend to replace the bolt. Does anyone know exactly what kind I need to get? Is that something I'd find in the hardware aisle at Home Depot? |
One would have to think there would be a leak. Does the car run like there is a leak?
Take one of the other bolts out and measure what you need, buy a new one. |

While making boost there is no chance of a vacuum leak.
Since your running the stock ECU the air is metered and then the motor is told to run with that much air. Since you have a boost leak the motor isn't seeing all of the air and will not run correctly. Also, get standalone. |
unless the other 3 bolts weren't tight, I wouldn't expect a leak. Pretty easy to determine this for yourself.
