    My Mav was just fine yesterday, went to start it today and now here's a loud vacuum sucking sound coming from under my hood. Sounds like it's coming from my carburetor. Any ideas?

    Its that hole under the air filter:rofl2: No seriously check for a loose vacuum hose, pcv valve ,twist the carb by hand to check for looseness. Also a whistle sound can sometimes be a base gasket leak.
