Re: 96-97 Engine Pics Requested

I don't have a digital camera anymore, but I took a few pics of mine to illustrate other issues for other people, I'll see if I still have any that might be useful to you...

You can usually spray water, starting fluid, WD-40 or just about anything all around while the motor idles, when the liquid is drawn into the vacuum leak, the motor will react by picking up speed and idling better momentarily as the liquid sucks through and stops the airflow for a second....or if it's a massive leak like a line that's missing, it may bog down as it inhales a big snort of it directly...either way, you now know the area where the problem is, then you can pattern search to pinpoint it. Make sure you spray all over the top around the intake, as well as all vacuum lines and the vacuum resevoir, brake booster, etc...anything vacuum related...

Have you noticed any problems with climate control vent settings not working correctly?
