Hole in UICP?

[eagle_talon90]

I was out cleaning up my engine a little bit today and i noticed that on my UICP theres a little hole in it at the backside of it. Its the stock UICP and the holes about the size of a penny maybe abit smaller. Anyways, I was just wondering if this would cause a loss in ppower because of air leaking out. Is it something I should worry about or can it stay like this?


Thanks,

if you had a hole the size of a penny, your car would not go anywhere.

Either, its not really a hole.... or you didnt really like accelerating in the first place.

well maybe not as big as a penny, sorry but ther is a hole there an my car's been feeling slow lately.

sorry, didnt mean to come out harsh.

Your intake pipes should be as "air tight" as possibe. Any lost air, is lost power. So, yes, fix that leak.
