howdy folks -

I was hoping that one or some of you could help to diagnose a wierd sound that I am getting when releasing the accelerator from a depressed position.

It occurs between 55 and 65 mph and essentially sounds like an extra loud exhaust rumble - almost like a backfire, but not as lound and a bit longer in duration.

Any ideas?

Thanks for the always excellent advice in advance....

Sounds like some kind of vacuum leak Gary 11:00 10/28/2001 (0)
