Unhappy Kind of worried by this

Sorry about the longer post this just will take sometime to explain

Well after work last night i drove about 20 min highway to bring the GF home and then back home another 25-30 min. Well getting to the GFs house i noticed that the car was running a little off (i have had a 1.5k-2k stumble for a while but i cant find the problem).

Well when i got home i revved it a couple times to see how bad it was. to put it bluntly it sounded like it was missing, and especially worse between 1.5k and 2k where it always has. Checked the wires for arching...nothing. I thought it may have been that i drove through some heavy rain in the early mourning

just now i went back to look at it and checked the wires again to make sure they were all on tight. took of the TB elbow and look down to see my drivers side radiator hose sucked in 1/2 (dont know if that has anything to do with it but i dont want to think about what that could possibly mean). i took the radiator cap off and released the pressure but am kind of clueless on what is going on.

any clue where i should go with this?

Heavy rain.... could be that the opti got wet.... vented should dry out and possibly work like it used to after a few days and it might not....

Not likely that the radiator hose problem is related to thye miss/stumble, but you should replace the radiator cap, since its not releasing the vacuum formed when the engine cools down.

Re: Kind of worried by this

any other hints?

Could an exhaust leak cause this problem?
