Edit: as long as one does not use the chlorinated Brakleen. Yes they still make it. http://crcindustries.com/auto/?s=05089
Use "Brake Kleen" as this stuff is safe on rubber hoses as it is used to clean brake parts, many of which are rubber. Brake Kleen disc brake cleaner comes in an aerosol can and that liquid also burns in the motor so a vacuum leak will either speed up the engine from a steady idle or stall it out at a particular hose connection while it is idling. Fix that hose connection and then get the car to run at a steady idle and test again by shooting some BK there. There should be no change in the idle speed. You may have more than one vacuum hose that is leaking.
Carb cleaner is not the stuff to use bc it eats gaskets and rubber hoses. You want a more neutral chemical that does not hurt anything.
A spray bottle of a soapy water mixture is the best thing that you can use to find a leak of any kind.
Smoke test . Pull the brake booster line and pump smoke into the manifold and watch for leaks ,
You can also buy a cheap vacuum gauge at Autozone to see if you have a loss .
The tried and true method is to use carb cleaner. Short bursts, don't soak the area and always have a fire extinguisher at hand.
I would use a spray bottle with soapy water in it
Engine starting fluid.
No. Soapy water. The bubbles will bubble where it's leaking.
yes..light a match too
use water, or carb cleaner, idk why you think spraying almost pure alcohol onto somethign hot would be a good idea
dddd
