1. I have a vacuum leak that makes a lot of noise from about 2k to 3k RPM every time, so im thinking its in a line that goes to the EGR...it started after i tried to cure an oil leak with a Fel Pro gasket (yeah i know....big mistake)
2. Previously mentioned oil leak. Im going to see if it might be coming from the oil pressure sensor, but i doubt it. Its gotten bad lately, so im also going to try and put Permatex Ultra Grey on both sides of the gasket to see if it will seal...unless someone here thinks that is a retarded idea.
3. Recently the car has been harder to start. Itll crank fine, but will take longer than usual to fire....but it doesnt do it all the time. Im wondering if the fuel pump might be failing
4. I have to wait a bit (30 seconds to a minute) to put the car into gear or it will stall. The car also seems like it stays at a high idle too long, but will eventually settle into its 900 rpm idle. I will be checking/setting the TPS voltage the same time i try to fix all of this other stuff.
These are just everyday things that annoy me about the way the car runs, that i would like to fix, so any help would be appreciated, especially if it prevents me form doing anything unnecessary/stupid
