3. As soon as i installed my winter tires, I'm hearing a howling sound from the right rear side that's on audible from 0-60 km/h then goes away after driving for 10- 15 mins
4. I've changed the whole ignition system minus the coil and ezl, fuel filter is about a year old. I remember the p.o telling me his mechanic changed the fuel pump relay when it wasn't starting, was thinking to start there ?
also how can i do a smoke test to find vacuum leaks
Winter time is the #1 time when a worn out EHA starts having problems as it fails to adjust based on feedback from the ECU. I didn't read the whole thread, but if you haven't changed it in a long while, try that. It's a 5 minutes swap with a known "good" one that doesn't leak to eliminate one more variable.
