Loudly also runs very sluggish since this air problem has started someone suggested replace the small plastic F piece under the throttle body done that and still no good its around under the throttle body area you can hear it,
Any help is greatly appreciated.

My only suggestion would be to use about a meter of garden hose or similar with one end at your ear and the other end searching the engine bay to attempt to find the source of the noise. Search around all of the vacuum lines around the intake manifold and hopefully you will find the source of the leak.

Good luck with it.

Check & tighten your intake manifold bolts, you may find some loose?

cheers, Maka
