Vacum Leak

[daneldridge23 15]

Hi guys

After doing some research in to the problems im having, I have come to the decision I have a vacuum leak somewhere on my engine

Problems being things such as not idling, idle control screws not changing the kg/ph, fuel ajustments on the ecu not making any sense (omex technicians help)

 

what I would like to know is the best way to find these leaks and where to start looking!

Thanks

Spray some brake cleaner around the inlet system gaskets, pipes etc. If it picks up then your leak is nearby.

what is it?

its an mi, found the leek, its on the no 3 cylinder, also my air temp sensor is shot! was showing 150 degrees!!

 

does anyone know if i can still get hold of a ptfe gasket for this, also is there anyone making angled plates for the inlet manifold as it is never going to fit under my bonnet as it is sitting

how much do they usualy go for and are they a good purchase

 

cash is a bit tight!

I believe it was £180 if you supply a donor o.e manifold.

 

you can sell your old jenvey one on quite easily.

 

 

make more torque and power, and fit easier
