This procedure will locate leaks in vacuum lines as well as manifolds,
EGR valves, oil seals, gaskets, solenoids, o-rings, ducting, throttle
shafts, diaphragms, canisters, and more
For best results, test in a draft-free area
1. Remove the air filter housing from ducting
2. If the vehicle has a round inlet tube from the air filter, place the
Cone Adapter into the duct toward the engine
3. Put Vapor Supply Hose into Cone Adapter to introduce vapor into
the system
4. Use provided Halogen Inspection Light to locate leaks
ALTERNATIVE METHOD
1. Select an appropriate vacuum line to access the vacuum system
(i.e. a brake booster supply line before the check valve)
2. Seal all system openings
• Air Intake must be sealed to prevent vapor from leaking back
through the intake
• To seal the intake, use Cap Plugs, a latex glove, or plastic wrap
around the filter
3. Put Vapor Output Hose into Cone Adapter to introduce vapor into the
system. Use provided Halogen Inspection Light to locate leaks.
This test is most effective when exhaust system is cold thermal
expansion may cause small leaks to seal
1. Insert appropriate Cone Adapter into the end of the tailpipe. If the
vehicle has dual exhaust with cross over system, plug the other
tailpipe to seal the system
2. Put Vapor Output Hose into Cone Adapter to introduce vapor into
the system
A hot catalytic converter may consume some of the vapor
All testing is performed with the engine off
DRAIN VAPOR HOSE
