Default Can you guys help?

So im getting of work, go to my car to turn it on.
Stepped on the clutch and the car turns on, and turns right back off.
It sounds like theres a leak somehwere b/c when it turns off, it sounds like theres a lot of air escaping somewhere tores the back of the manifold
whats the problem?what can i do to fix? I had to have a tow bring me home at 1 a.m .
any input is greatly appreciated.

What happened when you attempted to restart it? How did it run when you had it started? FWIW the noise you are hearing is possibly just your A/C or your AIR.

Well you may still be getting a code, the first thing I would do would be to scan the car again and make sure that the SES is indeed just your Knock sensor. If find that it indeed has other codes that will help you trouble shoot the problem easier. From what you describe it sounds like it could be a leak but since you have not touched the engine it makes this more puzzling.
