I had a hissing sound under the hood and i found the rubber elbow
that connects the pcv tube to the throttle body and another vacuum
hose was cracked replace them still had the hissing.... the gasket
under the throttle body was bad . I did notice a ruff idle for awhile
now it idles smooth and i will drive it mon. Then wed i decided
to replace the leaking heater hose connector that mounts on top of
motor by ign coil i put socket on it and it broke with a peice still threaded in the intake(DAM) it took 2 hrs vacuuming out
all the peices and using my inspection camera to make sure i got
them all out the intake . got the new one threaded in no leaks!!!

One of the worse jobs I had to tackle on mine was replacing that piece.

Be gratful it broke instead of destroying the threads unscrewing it.

Dude, the entire cooling system needs to be cleaned and flushed, if the rusty color of the filler neck is any indicator lol. Replace all those lines and the control valve, throw some DexCool in there afterward and that system should be trouble free for a while.
