I have a better idea reinvent the idea a bit take a compressor and put a vintury car vacuum fitting on a hose and let it suck the cigar smoke into the intake with a hose big enough to pull a drag off the cigar then you don't have to mess with smoking. Or just go buy a cheap fog machine from the party store and hook it up to a hose on the output to the engine. Eitherway their is no wrong way to go about it. Smoking is also a viable option for once in blue moon.
thank you for this vid. i've had a vac leak that i've been trying to track down to no avail but now i finally have a use for those cheap cigars in the humidor
when i saw you blowing smoke into the tube, the first thing i thought of is tom and jerry when tom tries smoking jerry out of his mouse hole and then jerry just calmly strolls out with a little gas mask on.
@MrRemainsunidentifie But it is rather funny, and I'm not promoting smoking. You don't inhale, and if you don't like that, just pay a mechanic to use his 1000 dollar smoke machine as I suggest in the video.
@MrRemainsunidentifie some scientist say you can get lung cancer just buy living in a city with high car traffic and alot more people die from unhealthy eating than smoking also the sun can give you skin cancer.. most of the stuff they put in food and snacks may give you cancer.. drinking will damage your liver and drugs will fry your brain also overuse of over the counter drugs will damage you liver or kidneys and some people in there 90s and 80s still alive start smoke 16
@MrRemainsunidentifie so you see everything is going to kill you... now i do smoke very lightly only when i'm stress out but do not encourage others to do it...
To find a vacuum leak you could spray something flammable like starter fluid around the area where you think the leak is. When you hit the right spot, you'll hear the car run rich and bog down a little. I know someone will flame me and say this is dangerous. I say, live and let die.
Hey Scotty, seeing this video makes me think of the 302 in our boat. I was told it has a vacuum leak but I haven't had the chance to tinker with it being that it is winterized. Sometimes when starting, it would jump to and stay at 2K or so rpm. The throttle control isn't stuck...but yet if I I pump the throttle a couple of times, it would return to normal. It is quite unpredictable. I'm thinking the butterfly or something in the carb is stuck maybe?
ok cancer libs, dont smoke a cig then. im sure welfare will pay for a smoke machine for you so u dont have to do such things. oh wait, they will pay a mechanic for u. stupid me....
Hey there Scotty! I'm a new car owner, just bought a 2004 BMW 320i, its my first car, it has about 117000km on the odometer, its making a pulley or water pump noise my grandfather says, could you make a video of you changing a BMW water pump and what noise it makes? It only makes the noise on start ups, you can hear it better in cold starts, I can only hear it at lower revs; under 900rpm. I really don't feel like paying 200$ just to get it checked at a BMW retailer. Thanks a lot there!
I have a 1946 Cadillac with the flathead V8 346c.i. My problem is the carburetor fuel bowl goes dry after sitting for a couple of days. I have swaped out carburetors, still same problem. Is the fuel evaporating this quickly? Any ideas. Carburetors have even been rebuild so there not leaking through. Thanks
@TheWicho46 If the carb is not leaking, and that thing's SO old no saying the carbs aren't just worn out and leaking, then your filter must be too open, which would let it evaporate from air just passing through too much. Realize the old jobs had oil saturated air filters that would not allow evaporation as the oil bath would stop air circulation when stopped.
Most mechanices, when such a leak is found, simply clean it well, mix up and apply some two part sealer epoxy and apply, dry, reassemble it and go.good luck!
Google the quabrajet bowl leak fix, so common several comapnies made "elephant butt" plugs to fix the problem. That will give you a better idea on what exactly to look for. The only true way to test the cab is to remove it, fill the bowl, bench test it, tape over open fuel line connections, vent piping, etc. the next day it should still have gas.
the carb base is cast when made, on the underside of the bowl some have a plug installed to close the sand casting port. These can and do come loose over time, GM carbs are famous for this. Closely inspect the carb, the underneath.
surely if a vacuum hose to the throttle body has come off it would affect more than cylinder 1 as described in the video? would you mean bank 1 instead? do you have another diagnosis method for non smokers too? and without spending $1000's on a smoke machine? personally i would of used a more visual inspection if you could hear the leak at that level of noise emitted from the engine.
It reminds me of an incident on a Honda CB750 when I was measuring the float level on the carbs with a $100 dollar pair of calipers, then I noticed that the floats and the idle jet lined up
at the proper measurement when a steel ruler was placed across the floats and idle jet.
I have a vw passat tdi it pulls like a train but when the revs top out it cuts into limp mode, dam its annoying, I can't find the cause I ahve replace the mass aiflow meter with a new one but no change.
@jeep200000 VWs are very complex cars, and such a problem would require a dealer level scan tool to fix. You'd hook it up, drive it, and see what data turns bad when it does that by recording it on the flight data. Yes, they are that complex, I have such stuff but always dread using it can it can get expensive.
@scottykilmer Hey thanbks for the superfast reply, yep I thought as much well I'm determind not to let it beat me so I'll keep looking for the fault . thanks again, great video.
@jeep200000 I had the same problem,Toyota Avensis Verso 2001.engine d4d diesel,visited many places and after changing all electronic discovered partially dirty catalizator.Took it off and put some pipe.Now ,from time to time I clean air inlet system with "carburetor cleaning spray".Yust take air filter of and let someone spray in while you control engine speed from inside.It works.Clean all the oil from turbine and cleans all sensors too.
Hmm,thats another problem,is my car REFUSES to hook up to any computer,to get the codes,i didnt know if it evap it would have kicked on the engine light and the radiator fan........again it does this when i reach 40 to55 mph and then will kick the light and fan on,
@Akhorishaan8472 when they don't hook up, you either have a wiring problem at the link, or a computer problem in the system shorting it out. I'd start there.
@scottykilmer ive tested the wiring on the car for the reason it wnt connect to it and there no short,and the link has power,but it still wnt connect,
@Akhorishaan8472 that might almost be a ECT problem. what kind of car is it? check pin 16 on the DLC connector and make sure its 12v also pin 4 and 5 are signal wires for the reader.
my car is an 95 sunfire 2.2,and i think it has either a evap leak,or a bad o2 sensor,it kicks on the radiator fan ,AND the engine light when it gets to about 40-55 mph...........i can smell gas when at ideal,but oly from the back of the car,so i guessing it an evap problem,or is the o2 sensor shoving more gas than the car needs into the cylinders?
@Akhorishaan8472 get the codes from the engine light first, cause tons of things can do that. But O2 sensors rarely act up that that, and neither does evap system problems, they go out more at low speeds or idle.
@scottykilmer its hard because a 1995 is OBD1 and their was no mandated laws for generic codes. also you can use an oscilliscope and do the snap throttle/propane test for the 02 sensor. if you would like messege me and i can try and help over youtube. i am a master ASE technician and smog technician.
@Akhorishaan8472 if you can get an evap test done. pinch off the line going from the gas tank to the charcoal cannister. right at the charcoal cannister though like 1-2 inches before where the line connects to it. see how much leak it has if its over. but the fact your car is kicking on the fan...seems like it isnt an evap problem. maybe faulty ECT or wiring to it. when it does this at 40-55 check the temp guage and see if it drops to nothing.
@916MustangRacer i will try that,altho i think i may have found that it is a coolant tamp sensor that may be going out,altho my tempeture guage acts normal,cause the car will heat up to higher temps, before kicking on the fan to return to normal temp,but it stays @ normal temp when the car is moving....i think it may be a bad coolant temp.........
@Akhorishaan8472 I just had a fuel pressure regulator go out on my '94 Sunbird 3.1V6. Pulled into a gas station and filled the tank. Got into car and it would turn but not start. Smell of gas real strong. Chased the problem for days, no codes. It ended up being my fuel pressure regulator. 190,000 miles.
@JetMechMA hmmm,that might explain the smell of gas,but the strange thing is is the car acts like nothing is wrong,im maybe thinking the smell of gas might be another problem and maybe i have a coolant senser going out and the car thinks is overheating
On My 1999 beetle. Car runs fine when I start it, BUT only when I get more gas its hard to start. I have to pump pedal to get it to start. After this it starts and runs fine. ONLY when I get more gas it acts up.. Is it a fuel tank pressure sensor that has gone bag?
@scottykilmer I tried, with no results. The van runs very rough, but after 5 or 10 minutes it smoothes out.After 45 minutes of running, there is still alot of water moisture coming out the exhaust. The van is getting terrible gas mileage, like 10 mpg.
fucking genius, i had a chevy caviler with a leak along my evap port thus i wish i had a cigar at the time to find the leak in that piece of shit car. thank god the towing company took the bitch away.
My Dodge Dakota truck has the EVAP system on it, can this trick work with that? What hoses do i blow the smoke through? I have the codes P0455 and P0442.
@Reddogmr57 You can inject smoke into any evap system hose,such as the one coming off the charcoal cannister that vents the evap system. there is also a small fitting made for checking the system, but it does have a schraeder valve on it you would have to remove.
Hey Scotty Can U Help Me Out Here PLEASE !!!! I Have An 2002 Grand Prix SE 3.1L Engine My Car Is Leakin' Antifreeze I Took It To The Shop 2 Get It Tested & They Told Me The Leak Is Coming From The Timing Chain Housing & I Needed It Timing Cover Gaskets .... If I Look Right Down Behide The Alternator I Can See Were The Antifreeze Is Shooting Out From ....Do You Know What The Problem Is .... If So Can You Tell Me Thank You
Hey scotty, kind of an unrelated question but I recently changed the spark plugs and wires in my 1991 VW Golf and now it doesn't start. It sounds like it's going to but it just stops with a small thud. I also cleaned the engine before changing them. what could be the issue? Timing or electrical?
@LaxLuvr129 I would assume you messed up cleaning the engine, getting water or cleaner on electronic components. start drying em all out now with a hair drier and pray you never try cleaning again.
Her is the kid with the 38 mile per gallon Grand Marquis on youtube. I can't put a URL in the comment box I'll give you the name of his video posts,, just if you would like to read his statement!! just put the following in the search box. I know you knew that! LOL
Grand Marquis straight pipe revving,,,,,,,his user name is cody7619!
Hello I have a kid telling me he gets 38 miles hwy and 28 city with a Grand Marquis 98 4.6 2 valve,, and get this he say's it's because he runs 93 octain fuel,, can you clarify this?
Thanks! The owners manual say's only to run 87 octain in this motor! What's up?
@scottykilmer THANK YOU I can't tell you how happy you responded. And by the way I have seen your videos they are right on the money I like your stuff, and I have been a do it yourself guy for 30 years no I'm not certified but I have built a lot of motors in my day. I was also told by my father that retired from Fords to only run 87 Oct in the 4.6 v2 and nothing else. I heard of issues with warranty, can you tell me anything else? Thanks
@stingray300m I told him the very same thing but he insists he gets 38 miles to the gallon and never exceeding over 1500 RPMs LOL I told him he must piss a lot of people off trying to get to 70 miles an hour or even 45 miles an hour LOL Not to mention the head temps,, this guy is a liar flat out!! The key here is liars tell lies.. But thanks for your input.
@James1toknow he dont even say that he changed his heads and valves let alown pistons or head gaskets which will withstand the higher temps so that bullshit right there he says he got new a throttle body-upper intake manifold-or plunem cold intake box-h pipe exzust-flowteck mufflers-spark plugs-and/or coil coils-and some sctx3 which is probley part of the outside air intake nothing for the inside of the enigine to stand up for higher temps he could melt avalveburn apistonfryringsblowheadgaskets
@james1toknow like wow does he know anything about the inside of enigines but he gets 25to 38 mpg ill belive that one like a flying tv with wings smokeing a cigar the only way to get more mpg is make the car lighter and maby use diesal for the energy densidy it has and get a dohc enigine other than that theres not much more you can get for higher mpg
i have an 86 mustang( 4 lights in the front).When i put the headlights on ,the 2 center lights(high beams) light up very dim.Is that a bad ground causing that?
I LOVE stuff like that, a client comes to you all in a tizzy and I call them a half hour later with a fixed car that doesnt cost them anything! they are SOOO happy after that I always get a tip and a ton more biz;)
Scotty, I am working on a 2003 yukon 5.3L, I blew in the smoke from a swisher sweet. I have codes p0171 p0174 p0101, I replaced MAF, now just the two lean codes returned. After blowing smoke into vacuum line, only smoke that came out was through the OIL FILLER TUBE, not from the cap but from the base of the tube that the cap is on. Would this be a source of vacuum leaks? Can't get emissions testing until this is fixed, the sooner you reply the better. Thanks in advance.
@huskermanaz If the car draws in air anywhere apart from the intake. it can cause problems for air flow meters, the ECU doesnt see this extra air so doesnt adjust its fueling, then the 02 sensor will read the engine as running lean, and set trouble codes.
@huskermanaz To add to the above, some more sophisticated cars could set a trouble code if you remove the oil filler,or petrol cap, or leave it loose while the car is running, because they are supposed to be sealed systems, were all the scavenged vapors are burnt during combustion, and therefore must be metered to keep the air fuel ratio within tolerance, any addition of air will upset the balance and may or may not generate fault codes. good luck:-)
Wow i was waiting for some type of fuel source or something to ignite i would not recommend this.. if you have the code reader why didn't you just spray brake clean and watch the hego if voltage is high you are near your source vacuum leak and p0171 or p0174 can be caused by multiple things like fuel pump delivery system or a restricted injector bad maf sensor bad pcv vavle also seen a incorrect air filter

Hmm,thats another problem,is my car REFUSES to hook up to any computer,to get the codes,i didnt know if it evap it would have kicked on the engine light and the radiator fan........again it does this when i reach 40 to55 mph and then will kick the light and fan on,
Akhorishaan8472 1 month ago
@Akhorishaan8472 when they don't hook up, you either have a wiring problem at the link, or a computer problem in the system shorting it out. I'd start there.

@scottykilmer ive tested the wiring on the car for the reason it wnt connect to it and there no short,and the link has power,but it still wnt connect,
Akhorishaan8472 1 month ago
@Akhorishaan8472 that might almost be a ECT problem. what kind of car is it? check pin 16 on the DLC connector and make sure its 12v also pin 4 and 5 are signal wires for the reader.

my car is an 95 sunfire 2.2,and i think it has either a evap leak,or a bad o2 sensor,it kicks on the radiator fan ,AND the engine light when it gets to about 40-55 mph...........i can smell gas when at ideal,but oly from the back of the car,so i guessing it an evap problem,or is the o2 sensor shoving more gas than the car needs into the cylinders?
Akhorishaan8472 1 month ago
@Akhorishaan8472 get the codes from the engine light first, cause tons of things can do that. But O2 sensors rarely act up that that, and neither does evap system problems, they go out more at low speeds or idle.

@scottykilmer its hard because a 1995 is OBD1 and their was no mandated laws for generic codes. also you can use an oscilliscope and do the snap throttle/propane test for the 02 sensor. if you would like messege me and i can try and help over youtube. i am a master ASE technician and smog technician.

@Akhorishaan8472 if you can get an evap test done. pinch off the line going from the gas tank to the charcoal cannister. right at the charcoal cannister though like 1-2 inches before where the line connects to it. see how much leak it has if its over. but the fact your car is kicking on the fan...seems like it isnt an evap problem. maybe faulty ECT or wiring to it. when it does this at 40-55 check the temp guage and see if it drops to nothing.
916MustangRacer 1 month ago
@916MustangRacer i will try that,altho i think i may have found that it is a coolant tamp sensor that may be going out,altho my tempeture guage acts normal,cause the car will heat up to higher temps, before kicking on the fan to return to normal temp,but it stays @ normal temp when the car is moving....i think it may be a bad coolant temp.........

@Akhorishaan8472 I just had a fuel pressure regulator go out on my '94 Sunbird 3.1V6. Pulled into a gas station and filled the tank. Got into car and it would turn but not start. Smell of gas real strong. Chased the problem for days, no codes. It ended up being my fuel pressure regulator. 190,000 miles.
JetMechMA 1 month ago
@JetMechMA hmmm,that might explain the smell of gas,but the strange thing is is the car acts like nothing is wrong,im maybe thinking the smell of gas might be another problem and maybe i have a coolant senser going out and the car thinks is overheating

On My 1999 beetle. Car runs fine when I start it, BUT only when I get more gas its hard to start. I have to pump pedal to get it to start. After this it starts and runs fine. ONLY when I get more gas it acts up.. Is it a fuel tank pressure sensor that has gone bag?

@scottykilmer I tried, with no results. The van runs very rough, but after 5 or 10 minutes it smoothes out.After 45 minutes of running, there is still alot of water moisture coming out the exhaust. The van is getting terrible gas mileage, like 10 mpg.

Reddogmr57 1 month ago
@Reddogmr57 You can inject smoke into any evap system hose,such as the one coming off the charcoal cannister that vents the evap system. there is also a small fitting made for checking the system, but it does have a schraeder valve on it you would have to remove.

Hey scotty, kind of an unrelated question but I recently changed the spark plugs and wires in my 1991 VW Golf and now it doesn't start. It sounds like it's going to but it just stops with a small thud. I also cleaned the engine before changing them. what could be the issue? Timing or electrical?

@james1toknow like wow does he know anything about the inside of enigines but he gets 25to 38 mpg ill belive that one like a flying tv with wings smokeing a cigar the only way to get more mpg is make the car lighter and maby use diesal for the energy densidy it has and get a dohc enigine other than that theres not much more you can get for higher mpg

I use starting fluid to locate vacuum leaks. Just spray it near vacuum pipes and if you hear rpm rise, youve got a vacuum leak right there.

Scotty, I am working on a 2003 yukon 5.3L, I blew in the smoke from a swisher sweet. I have codes p0171 p0174 p0101, I replaced MAF, now just the two lean codes returned. After blowing smoke into vacuum line, only smoke that came out was through the OIL FILLER TUBE, not from the cap but from the base of the tube that the cap is on. Would this be a source of vacuum leaks? Can't get emissions testing until this is fixed, the sooner you reply the better. Thanks in advance.

@huskermanaz often a leaking intake manifold gasket in that case, very common
scottykilmer 1 month ago
@huskermanaz If the car draws in air anywhere apart from the intake. it can cause problems for air flow meters, the ECU doesnt see this extra air so doesnt adjust its fueling, then the 02 sensor will read the engine as running lean, and set trouble codes.
TrueBlueEG8 1 month ago
@huskermanaz To add to the above, some more sophisticated cars could set a trouble code if you remove the oil filler,or petrol cap, or leave it loose while the car is running, because they are supposed to be sealed systems, were all the scavenged vapors are burnt during combustion, and therefore must be metered to keep the air fuel ratio within tolerance, any addition of air will upset the balance and may or may not generate fault codes. good luck:-)
TrueBlueEG8 1 month ago
Wow i was waiting for some type of fuel source or something to ignite i would not recommend this.. if you have the code reader why didn't you just spray brake clean and watch the hego if voltage is high you are near your source vacuum leak and p0171 or p0174 can be caused by multiple things like fuel pump delivery system or a restricted injector bad maf sensor bad pcv vavle also seen a incorrect air filter
