Check the hose going to your pcv valve. If it is split or not connected good, this will cause the high rev. Did it on my 1998.
I have a 2000 Malibu, I can help you out if you can give me some more info...where on the intake manifold are you referring to?
Might be a vacuum leak
YES
could be faulty plugs, wires, coils,clogged fuel filter, vacuum leaks in hoses or intake manifold,fuel injectors clogged, leaky egr vavle.
Possibly the pressure cycling switch.
The vehicle does this on its own with a vacuum operated fuel pressure regulator.
Water pump or leak intake gasket.... also check your T-Stat
If you have power brakes look where the large hose that goes to the brake booster connects to the engine and that is your main vacuum source.
Check the lower intake gasket, or the thermostat...
A serious vacuum leak could cause that.
The first thing I would check is the vacuum supply line. The HVAC controls are operated by vacuum supplied from the engine. The line may be disconnected or cracked.
Yes, and that will cause shifting issues.
