My Recording Equipment for this video:
I use this wireless system but with a different microphone. It comes with a single or dual transmitter setup. It also comes with decent lavalier microphones, but I use better ones that I have.

Nice! No wasting time. Just to the point 😃👍
Love it short and sweet thanks for the knowledge
Love the short and to the point.
Excellent video. Showed everything needed and that's it.
Great video! Thanks for the intel.
Good explanation
Exactly what I needed to see, thank you for putting the time into making the video for people like me
Thomas, you're welcome! Thanks for watching!
If you have the piece that balloons 🎈 up when you use the hand pumping bulb, you can stick that ballooning side into the big air intake tube, after the MAF, and pump it up there and inject the smoke at that point. Again, thanks for watching and thanks for the comment! 😊👍
Nice video mate thanks
Very helpful , thanks man
Good job
Thank you very much. Had no clue where to start and finish the smoke. I do now.
Anytime, Ryan! Thanks for watching!
Great video great help thanks
I like, to the point, and works for any vehicle; Thanxs for making this an easy to follow video for those whom are not mechanics but are looking for clarity .
Yw! Thanks for watching and thanks for the comment! 😊
OMGGGG your video is what I needed to fix my car that's been sitting for 4-months for leaks THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH!
Thank you M Maama! It's comments like these that make doing these videos even better!! Thanks for watching!! 🦾
Thanks, I didn’t know where to inject the smoke to, now I do.
Well, this is one way to do it. I've also been injecting right after the MAF sensor with the part of the smoker that balloons up. Maybe I'll get a video of that up sometime soon. Thanks for watching!! 😊
Thank you!
You're welcome! Thank you for watching!!! :)
"thank you for your video help me a lot
Good job! I have a 2000 silverado 5.3L getting ready to check for vacuum leak. Running lean, but codes clear and it’s an intermittent problem. I hope the smoke tracks it down. Thanks again for the post. 👍
Any luck?
@@Danielxperez14 actually called the mobile mechanic and he did intake manifold and valve cover gasket replacement. Seems to be good now. I just got tired of chasing my tail and had to call the professional. 390k. Like a rock. First time gasket replacement, so needed it.
good to know, i already changed my valve cover gaskets but not my intake manifold, i appreciate the info!@@ashleyclark6199
Thanks, real to the point. Just inquiry, dont we need to do some open/close to the purge valve? In order for smoke to travel to further areas? Thanks again
thank you god bless you,i have po440 code on 1996 s10. thank you.
Thumbs up
Thank you and thanks for watching! ☺
will this work if i have a turbo as well?
❤
Awsome.. can install it on my Camry the same way thru the break booster vaccum? Also will a bad evap solinoid cause to run lean???
What year is that truck? I thought there was a valve on the brake booster hose. I might have to run mine through there and try. I like the double bag trick on the intake.
Normal smoke comes out from Dipstick when pull it out ?
Where would i start this test on a 2013 ford escape?
✊🏾🏆
Does that smoke machine require you to hook an outside air source to it? If so, what are you using?
This is a great Idea. Thank you. I would like to ask you a question about a vacuum leak on my 2002 Ford Ranger. The brakes are sponge, and the transmission stopped shifting into high gear and the speedometer reads about 80 miles per hour when it is only going 40 . . could that be a vacuum leak?
A FOOKIN FORD RANGER!!!
Dipstick is bad rings 😳😬
all the tests like this are really smoke pressure tests I've had a lot of vacuum leaks that leak under vacuum but not pressure so maybe it would be better to apply vacuum (vacuum cleaner) to the engine and have a very low whiff of smoke out a tube and prod it about engine and hoses to see if the smoke gets sucked in. as many a 2 cycle crankcase can stand up to a pressure test but leak like crazy under vacuum. p s I'm not having a go at you personally just the traditional smoke test used by everyone is floored
David, very interesting. I may have to give this a go. I'm not technically a mechanic, I've just been working on all of my own vehicles for the past 20-ish years. I fixed those three leaks from the video last night, cleared the codes, and I test drove today. It's still throwing the two codes for running lean on banks 1 and 2. I haven't smoked tested again but maybe I will tonight. My fuel pressure at the fuel rails seems okay at about 56psi but maybe there's still an issue there. Last week I changed the two downstream O2 monitors because one of them tested bad and I figured I might as well replace both. I replaced the MAF sensor too, just for good measure. Four months ago I also cleaned, tested and put new O-Rings on the fuel injectors. I did a video on that. All parts changed out were AC Delco except MAF sensor, that was Delphi. That's probably a bit more information than you were looking for but I just started typing and kept going! lol. Thanks for watching and the information!
Oh, and my Long Term Fuel Trim numbers don't look great. They fluctuate between ~4% - 12% at idle to ~6% - 24% while driving. So I'm definitely trying to figure this thing out.
Thank you for that
i heard some brake boosters have 1 way check valves / is it safe to pump smoke through brake booster i have a 2014 mustang gt with a p0171 p0174 code
The check valve is still on the booster he disconnected the hose from it the white thing. He is not putting smoke though the booster .
Where can I buy smoke machine bro please
I'm pretty sure I put the link in the post description! ☺️
Why the smoke is not exiting by the exhaust valve ? We all know that at some point exhaust and intake can be open at the same time for air scavengine?
a few little pipsQEk pinholes is all it takes to run lean? 🤔hmnnn..
I honestly dont think that was a large enough leak to run lean
Definately can
