Very well done, I've been chasing a P0456 on my Jeep and this video will be very helpful. Unfortunately I do not have a smoke machine like yours so this may be difficult
For a backyard mechanic it would be a lot easier to replace the hose from and to the tank. It cost about $20 for 50 feet so let's say you spend $60 on the hose, it's still a lot less than you'd pay for a diagnostic and labor and parts.
I like the video,however I can't afford to take my car to a shop can I make a smoke machine?...I have a code P0455 Large leak and do my own mechanic work for me and some close family and friends and a machine like this would help me in many ways....thanks for the input
10-11 psi into the EVAP system?!? Are you trying to CAUSE leaks? These machines operate at .47 psi and anything above 1 psi is asking for trouble. EVAP lines have no clamps and are often dry-rotted, etc. they are not designed to hold anywhere near that type of pressure, any slight pressure applied is strictly for leak testing. That is either a typo on your part or completely wrong information.
@MrHvm1985 try inject air into evap system with no more than 10-11 psi, and close of vent valve. Use stethoscope without the tip, but the hose only to listen for hissing sound as you follow the evap system route. Smoke-Pro is affordable smoke machine selling at ebay, but shop around. Great machine. Good for intake, exhaust, and evap leak diag.
I realize I'm talking about a different piece of equipment than what's shown in this video, but something I like to do to verify EVAP repairs is to either command the system to seal w/scan tool or shut off the vent valve, calibrate the flowmeter on the EVAP smoke machine, and pump nitrogen into the system. If the ball stays at or below where you put the red arrow after running nitrogen through the calibration orifice, you're good to go.
Great video- thank you for making it. I struggle with EVAP codes almost daily, but our shop does not have a smoke machine. I'd love to have one, but it's a shame they're so outrageously expensive.
Can the leaks cause the speed of your car to decrease?
