RE: exhaust leak
bump i really need help because the car runs like doodoo and wont idle unless i give it some gas, i checked everything else, o2 sensors, vacuum leaks, fuel and air delivery. and no other problems the exhaust leak is the only thing. it idles fine, but when i put it in gear it will just shut off unless i give it gas.

RE: exhaust leak
A ridiculous exhaust leak will dilute the emissions going to the O2 sensors and change your a/f mix @ idle possibly causing your problems. Fix the leak.

RE: exhaust leak
+2 lol on the o2 and the a/falso youll be losing back pressure on that one side and exhaust leaksare annoying as hell. And if its a blown gasket that sucks cause you gotta do all that pita work again. Good Luck
