Hello, thank you for writing in. You are absolutely heading in the right direction. If you were to look at a diagram of the filter housing you would see it simply runs to the vents up front. If you can not find a crack, hole, bad clamp, or other obvious fault with the duct or housing, you may want to clean the housing and check it off of the vehicle before resorting to replacing it. It will create a vacuum leak, and cause a loss of power to the engine, and all of the other symptoms that accompany a poorly functioning engine. For more help inspecting or replacing the housing, contact our service department to schedule an appointment.

Battery + Oil Light on - engine won't start 2006 Kia Rio
Hi there - I would check for problem codes, whether the Check Engine light is illuminated or not.

If your engine is cranking (i.e. actually spinning...
My ac only blows cold air when I'm driving fast
When your car is moving, say at 45 MPH, there is lots of air flow over the condenser (the condenser is the heat exchanger in front of the radiator) and that airflow is essential to proper a/c system operation. To...
My check engine light is on and I got the codes for my 2013 chevy impala. The codes are P0174, P0011, P0014, P015A, P015C, P0171,
The codes you report implicate varying systems (for example, fuel versus camshaft timing). When multiple codes set there is often an order of priority (which code is tracked down first) in the diagnostic to cover just that eventuality you mention,...
