If any was has chased down a vacuum leak you know how frustrating that can be . I can`t remember where I found this article about a home smoker but here is my version of that article . I went to a paint store and got a fresh empty paint can . I added a screw in valve stem in the side of the can . I added a 3/8s barb to the top of the can with a length of vacuum hose . Place a few bricks of charcoal from the barbecue in the bottom of your can , with your propane torch light them up nice and hot . Drop in some cardboard and put the lid on.. Tape off your throttle body and find a suitable vacuum line to hook the smoker too . ( remember to seal off the line you are using with the smoker ) You wont need much air ( maybe 5psi ) to push the smoke into the engine.. Watch for any smoke coming out and that is your vacuum leak.
