Re: Turbo and idling woes.

Here's another update. I did a lead check on the turbo system last night. Haven't checked the MAF sensor as of yet. That's my next order of business. Wanted to ask a question before I move on. I wasn't able to check all of the lines in the turbo system for leaks. Reason for this was because I couldn't get the system to pressure up long enough. I've never done any of this, so I'm not sure what's supposed to happen. Whenever I'd pressure the system using my air bubble, I'd hear a hiss from the valve train for about five seconds. Then, all of the pressure would be gone. If I took off the oil filler cap, the noise would get louder.

Now, I'm not sure what this means. I'm guessing that what I'm hearing is the air leaking into the cylinders through whichever valves are remaining open when I shut the car off. Is it supposed to do this? If not, what can I do to stop this?

Thanks again to all who read this. Any help I get is greatly appreciated.

Sincerely,
Jon
