Secondary AIR Tube leak?
Okay so here is the deal guys, I have a 1993 ford f150 with the 4.9 straight six. I have been driving myself crazy trying to figure this exhaust leak that i have been hearing for a long time now. I have yet to find a leak in my exhaust but i have been reading stuff on the internet and im thinking i may have a leak in the secondary air injection. I hear this ticking type noise but only only when under acceleration, like when i am building rpm's or going up a hill, i cannot really notice it my cruising at a steady rpm. I have yet to get under the truck and look at this air injection, but i do know that the tube that runs down to the cat has rusted off and is not connected to the cat anymore. If i find a crack or broken tube up near the motor, what is my best bet? To replace the whole thing or is there a way of plugging it? Any help is appreciated, this noise is driving my crazy!
