Question

How can i tell if the intake is leaking on my 2005 Chrysler Sebring 2.7L and is it a common problem?

Answer 1

An intake leak can cause the engine to run rough, stall, hesitate or may set the engine light ON. Sometime an intake leak produces a high pitched squeal noise, but when the noise is not noticeable you may spray carburetor (or throttle body) cleaner around the intake gasket. If there is a leak, the engine RPM will change when spray the carburetor cleaner.
