Vacuum Leak
What is the best way to find a vacuum leak?
This appears to be black magic.
Is there a tool that detects a vacuum leak?
Or, is there a device the blows smoke that I can move around the engine compartment to find the leak?
I knows this sounds novice, but I've never had to track one down.
Thanks,
Larry...

[QUOTE=LBYRNES;1572562433]Found the answer on Google.
Use a spray can of starting fluid, or just a propane tourch (UNLIT) and the idel goes up when you spray the leak.[/QUOT
Google and "the search icon" are great....aren't they.
