check your exhaust for leaks. i had a similar problem and it turned out i messed up my header gaskets and they were leaking.

how do i tell if it is leaking

yep, its an exhaust leak, factory header gaskets are usually a paper-like material. so buy some copper ones or the aluminum headers gaskets and i would advice some locking header bolts, cause mine keep backing out, but i gaurantee thats your problem

also look around where the flange is, where the header and the H pipe connect and look to see if there is any black residue around the flange where the exhaust would be leaking by, because some times if the bolts are tighten up where one bolt is more tight then the other the flange will bolt up crooked, and cause a leak.
