Check for intake
air leaks

NOTE: These are my notes from a generic
fuel injection book. I have not done all of these procedures, but they
sound reasonable to me. Corrections and updates would be appreciated.
 | Perform propane-injection leak test (if
nothing found visually)
 | First, disable the Idle Speed Stabilizer
by clamping the line or disconnecting the electrical connector
 | (this is true for '91 and
later; not sure about earlier) |
|
|
 | Fit a piece of tubing to a propane torch
 | Preferably, use several concentric
sizes to step the diameter down to about 1/8" I.D. |
|
 | Perform the test with the engine cold so
the cooling fan does not come on and disturb the air flow |
 | Start the engine |
 | Crack the valve on the propane torch to
obtain a small flow of propane
 | Direct the propane toward any
suspected leaks
 | An increase in RPM indicates a
leak (Why?) |
|
 | Don't forget to check the intake
manifold joints and fuel injector seals |
