The DISA Valve is brand new. I replaced it and it doesn't have any leaks. Thank you :)

You have an vacuum leak! My suggestion - get a vacuum or a smoke test on the engine, I forgot the exact term but any Indy worth his/her salt will know what you are asking for - but you need to find where the leak is.
This is one of the most common issues with the E53/M54 engine especially if you have already ruled out the usual suspects. The culprit is generally the CCV (Crankcase-Ventilation-oil separator). Its a PITA DIY job but not impossible with some time and beer. I have to attempt it soon on my Wife's X - not looking forward to it. Get the test!

Here is a video of me driving the car after I just put everything back together. I also ran codes which I will update in a bit.

Current codes on the car -
DME -> F1/79 - Misfire, cylinder 4, misfiring with cylinder cutout (Misfire CARB_A), low fuel level signal, active during fault entry Shadow-memory: 5A/12 - Exhaust temperature before catalyst, bank 1, signal line, short circuit to negative 5B/12 - Exhaust temperature before catalyst, bank 2, signal line, short circuit to negative 5D/12 - Exhaust temperature after catalyst, bank 2, signal line, short circuit to negative F1/79 - Misfire, cylinder 4, misfiring with cylinder cutout (Misfire CARB_A), low fuel level signal, active during fault entry ABS -> 61/FD - Steering angle adjustment necessary 5A/FE - Temporary system deactivation |
when you put the gaskets back, did you tighten things evenly? you've got vacuum leak or air is siphoning in somewhere... the hissing sound - can you pin point the location of hiss?

Funny - we keep telling him he has a vacuum leak and he keeps doing other things. Dude get the vacuum test/smoke test and determine were your leak is - knowing is half the battle!

I will eventually get the vauum test/smoke test. That is up to my friend really if he wants to bring it to a indy/dealer. I'm trying to do the best I can with what I know of the top of my head. As far as tighten things evenly and correctly I already did that. Thanks again for all the help everyone.

If you don't have access to a smoke machine, you might have some luck with more primitive tools. You could try an automotive stethoscope (9.99 at Autozone), possibly in combination with a vacuum pump with a gauge,($35 from Sears): Mityvac Mityvac MYMV8000 Vacuum Pump with Gauge - Tools - Mechanics & Auto Tools - Auto Body Repair Kits & Supplies
You might be able to hear a leak, and/or confirm that if the vacuum system is leaky or not. Also, if you search the net, there are instructions floating around on how to home-build a quite inexpensive, automotive smoke machine. |
