keithbar 1 #1 August 2, 2015 who has experience finding and fixing a vacuum leak? I will be the first to admit that I'm not much of a mechanic ? but I've had a few friends who should know what they're talking about. say a vacuum leak is a nightmare to find in an older car. i was just curious if anybody had any tips. Blues. Keithi have on occasion been accused of pulling low . My response. Naw I wasn't low I'm just such a big guy I look closer than I really am .

jackwallace 3 #3 August 2, 2015 You say older car. Older as in carburetor? Most cars you can buy enough vacuum line to replace all the lines for a lot less than taking it to someone. Don't forget the hose to the power brake reservoir and heater box. If that doesn't fix it, you get some starting fluid and start spraying it around the intake manifold. Any change in the idle indicates a leak.U only make 2 jumps: the first one for some weird reason and the last one that you lived through. The rest are just filler. scr 316 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
