Vacuum leak elbow(s)? Car stumbles but no CEL
#1
![Default](/forum/images/icons/icon1.gif)
My 2000 3.0 always had a stumble when shifting into 3rd gear, then it got worse and would stumble/stutter at idle, up and down about 50 rpms but never had a CEL. I thought it might be the IMT o-rings and replaced them, it helped a little but not much. I plan to use carb cleaner and check all vacuum lines, in reading a post by Joycesjag about vacuum lines https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/s...ics-faq-52720/ he mentions two elbows under the intake that are known to leak, a seperate post on jagrepair shows replacing only one elbow, is it one or two?

JagV8, the most common elbow that leaks is located under the lower intake as Gus points out in this repair: http://jagrepair.com/VacuumLeakSType2000.htm
The 2nd overlooked, I believe would be the brake booster elbow that is located on the backside or firewall side of the upper intake (or plenum), as Brutal suggests in post 5 of this link: https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/s...e-today-42429/
