That's impossible without taking off the UIM. Maybe we should do the vacuum lines and UIM gasket next weekend.



You can try to check for vacuum leaks with a can of wd-40...spray it around the vacuum lines and listen for a change in idle. You can also use water or propane...you decide how safe you want to be.

WD-40 won't blow your car up if you don't spray it on an open flame...so not on your exhaust.

Maybe it's time for a custom TID upgrade.

AFM??? Sorry, i'm kinda new at this. Would that spit out oil if it was cracked? 'Cause I just noticed a nice big oil spot on the ground!
