No thats not it. Do you have a check engine light.

Try resetting the ECU by unplugging the battery for 30 seconds

Neither, although you can put it in both. You can get it from autozone.

You put it in a vacume line and it gets sucked directly into the motor.

Have you tried running the car for 20 mins before sending it in?
