==Carburetor cleaner method== #With the engine running, use a can of carburetor cleaner to spray down the hoses and vacuum connections. #If there's a change in the idle speed or if the engine runs smoother, you might have found the vacuum leak. '''Note:''' You may also use engine starting fluid instead, as it does not leave residue. {{Warning}}Carb cleaner and starting fluid are extremely flammable! If this is attempted, have a fire extinguisher at hand. Keep away from sparks and any other sources of ignition. Even a cross firing plug wire could ignite such materials. {{Warning}}This MUST in a well ventilated area! Only do this outside of a garage and away from dwellings.
