lol, I had to remove it to get my carb off. Start pulling hoses off, and plugging htem as you go. I think www.mazdatrix.com had the writeup? Seemed sort of complicated though. Looks like a lot of stuff I'm going to have to fix

(I'm assuming) it's referring to the mess of hoses and crap which lies under the air cleaner surrounding the carb since a lot are useless as far as a running vehicle is concerned. If it means no longer passing emissions I'll take my rats nest.

if you have a vacuum leak, your car will most likely run like ****. Pretty much, it wont idle or revv quick. as for the "swooshing ****" sound, **** man, you got me, a BOV maybe 
Oh, and you better plug up those hoses man, im amazed ur car runs!
