I am begining to hate my engine, I cant figure out the problems, and more syptoms are starting to appear!!
For starters, I have had to replace the fuel pump fuse 2 times in the last two days.. Both times I was stranded in the road.. Luckly I had enough sense today to take one of the ones from a light. Next Im having power surges, asside from having almost no power.. I am still having a high idle problem and I still cant get the electronic ignition to work.. ARGG! |

You can spray a variety of things at the joints of an induction system to find leaks, but I generally use brake cleaner or starter fluid. Some things cause the engine to rev up a bit and others cause it to stumble, but any clear reaction means there is a leak. I like brake cleaner because it evaporates completely, rather than leaving a mess. If you are using starter fluid, or any other flamable agent, be careful around headers and open sparks!
