Why does my GMC Yukon have a vacuum leak?

Why does my GMC Yukon have a vacuum leak?

CAUSE 1: PCV Tube’s rubber elbow (where it connects to the intake manifold) is torn open and causing a major vacuum leak. CAUSE 2: Intake manifold gaskets or plenum gaskets are leaking vacuum. GM, in all its infinite wisdom, uses plastic and rubber gaskets for the intake manifold and plenum gaskets.

Where is the PCV hose on a 5.7 liter engine?

the pcv hose on the driver side of the 5.7 liter engine connects from the valve cover to the intake manifold. There is another smaller vacuum line that comes from this connection at the intake manifold.

Where does the vacuum line from the intake manifold come from?

There is another smaller vacuum line that comes from this connection at the intake manifold. Where does this vacuum line connect? On the passenger side of this same engine, there are 3 hoses/lines that connect to the evaporation emissions purge solenoid vacuum switch.

Can a bad PCV valve cause an intake leak?

Because of the issues discussed, a faulty PCV valve can have the same symptoms as an intake leak, and the air/fuel mixture can end up being wrong. Usually, your air/fuel mixture will become lean, and you can feel the same symptoms as from a lean mixture.
