1) Is that the only one reason this could happen, or could it be
something else too?

2) What do I do to fix it? I dont know much about vacuum leaks but is
it a expensive job?

3) I would be changing the time-belt of my car. Is there anything is
specific I should ask the dealer to change too, keeping this problem
in mind?
