P0174 vacuum leak weak vacuum line elbow
Thank you Syber Tiger. I had the same problem on my 2003 Sport Trac with 75,000 miles, except I only got the P0174 code. I had my vehicle at my local dealer getting a oil change $5, and asked them about my CEL light coming on. They gave my trac an inspection, and told me I had a vacuum leak. They wanted to change my brakes out as well, total bill $1200. They figured $200 for the vacuum leak. I told them I would do the brakes myself, and thanks for the info. I had trouble finding the elbow as well, and had to modify a hose. Anyway, I reset the CEL and it's been off for 200 miles. Thanks for the post and the pictures, it has save me cash, which is desparately needed, especially this time of year. The word needs to get out about this common problem.
