Fix Vacuum Leaks like a Pro, Toyota Corolla

Down below is brain storming ideas if you ever struggle with a vacuum leak! Click for more! P0171 or P0174 may be your nemesis, but it's rarely mine. It's generally not hard to figure out, but then, at work, I can cheat. If brake clean and a scan tool doesn't help me figure it out, I break out the smoke machine. That said, there have been vacuum leaks where even the smoke machine couldn't solve it! Typically it doesn't work if there's a leak on the oil pan or valve cover, which is significant enough to impact the running of the engine. One time it was the seal on the oil cap, on another, the seal on the oil filler neck. Lots of Ford trucks have an elbow which is leaking away on the back and top of the engine where you may never look without smoke or experience. One of the times smoke didn't work, brake clean got sucked in! That was an intake seal, like the possibility, which I point out in this video. I'm using Ian Hawkings Torque Pro app as available on Google Play. I'm not sure but if look up OBD II to blue tooth dongle you should find many hardware compatable devices with an Android and maybe for I phone as well, but if it is you may need a different app from the i store. Today, I happen to be working on a Toyota Corolla, but I find working vacuum leaks is one of the most universal subjects, which I can teach, which is actually much more independent of the vehicle, which you are working on. Extra safety message: Brake clean can easily pool on engine components and start a fire. I've always been careful and I've managed to not start a fire this way, but I've welded not long after using brake clean on a cold winter day and even though everything looked dry, the brake clean was ready to set on fire with the falling embers from welding.
