That sounds like a vacuum leak, I would pull the intake and check the Pcv system for a loose or holed hose

Is there no fuel replacement plate in the XCs for this job in the 2000 MY? If you can get to the top of the tank you might be able to see the leak from there I guess the first order of business is to find the leak. That’s probably doable by yourself with some help, get the car up on ramps and then l...
