THE EASIEST, CHEAPEST & FASTEST WAY TO DO A VACUUM LEAK TEST 4 BROKE FOLKZ CODE(S) PO171 OR PO174

what's up your tooth today i'm going to show you what to do if you get a cold po1 71 or a po1 74 on this vehicle what we got is APO 171 we just show you this is a 2002 Buick Regal 3.8 liter okay what we're doing here the first thing I do when I get a lien code like this is I do a smoke test I do a vacuum leak test to check to see if we got any leaks here okay so what we're doing now is she's warming up the coals I'm gonna show you how this works this is a homemade vacuum leak tester it's a smoke tester this is a hole that's going straight to the vacuum brake booster pulse okay we took this off the brake booster right there and now we put now we got this on there okay first we got to warm some coals up then we're going to put cardboard in there and show you how to test you okay simple this is a simple test you actually have more than one code on this car we got po4 63 and you 11:53 alright I'm not worried about those okay I'm worried about this one right here okay that's the main one all right saw po1 71 is Bank one is running lean okay po1 74 is bank two running lean what is a bank the bank one is the bank with the number one cylinder on it bank 2 is the other side the other cylinders authy are all four okay on a four cylinder you got four cylinders that's only one bank so you don't have two banks so there is no bank to one that is either a bank 1 or bank 2 and in our situation here we got a pea or 171 which is bank 1 here this these cylinders are lined up as 1 3 5 and 2 4 6 on this vehicle on this GM okay 2002 3800 3.8 liter engine let's check it out now okay what we got here is a bunch of cardboard okay she put a bunch of cardboard in there and now I'm going to put charcoal okay be careful with this stuff that stuff gets real hot we're going to add two pieces okay then put more cardboard on top if you are smoked building up its quick okay now we got a lid right here put the lid on that okay now hook up the compressor now she's gonna hook up the compressor okay now turn it on now airs be forth coming here inside there okay inside the engine look at this right here and we got this off right here but let's put this back up put all this on the bottom so they can hear me tougher ok so now you see you see now this worked to put that on the bottom look at this that's perfect look at our air flowing perfect like that you got a little leak here but it's no big deal okay now what you got to do is you got to look for leakage okay we got to find out where our air is leaking from okay look here we got a small vacuum leak here we got a vacuum leak coming out of here okay check this out don't worry about this this is no problem this is just the air intake duct dead extended our defeats outside air into the engine we're worried about intake manifold leaks okay we have an air leak somewhere here on bank one remember let's paint one so now we're looking here don't get thrown off by that smoke or this this is not a big deal here okay neither is that but we do have a leak we need to find it so I'm just looking for a leak on the manifold gasket right here the upper uh valve cover gasket I knew okay I don't see any leakage down there that's not a big deal they're not what you want to do is you want to grab your light she see any smoke coming from anywhere like that slowly move across up here I actually believe this is an internal leak okay because he's bountiful these gaskets are known for leaking doesn't say lean on a bank to back here but I'm just looking anyway okay we got the air flowing I'll see anymore leaks we may have an internal leak and he's intake manifold gaskets on these Chevy's 3,800 are known for leaking okay especially have a leaking issue with this area right here but that's what coolant okay but I'm talking about the manifold gasket the mounts to the side of the cylinder head we may have an issue on that right there but can't see anything else other than that and that right there and this but that's that's not our problem here that's not a big deal right there a lot of the times the PIO 171 and appeal' 174 won't trigger until the computer senses that it's sending more than around like 20% fuel so when the computer is sending more than 20% plus or minus fuel to bank one or bake to the peel 171 and appear 170 for the trigger so looks like I don't have any mountain-fold leaks externally at least but rht may be on the inside okay but that's what you do right there when you get the codes those two codes that's what you do you do a vacuum leak test with your homemade backing tester there it is right there okay the smoke test is done we couldn't find anything externally except for that little stuff that's not a big deal that's not the problem I guarantee you now the question is do we have too much air going into bank 1 or do we have too little fuel going into bank 1 ok now what is this made of we got this jar from the thrift store this is like a dollar 50 for this jar then I put foil at the bottom and this is the lid this is the part you got to fix this is the part you got to hook up this lid comes apart like that and it's perfect that way we don't have to move the whole deal when we're twisting the arm the jar so now this is how it looks I just punched holes I didn't even drill this one I just punched holes a little bit small so all I did is punch holes a little smaller than the diameter of each rubber hose I got here ok these are off a spark plug wires then I just put silicone on it yeah and it's that simple it's not hard at all ok make when they're simple you don't have to drill you don't have to drill a hole in the glass like I did my other one ok make it like this and it's fast man this thing will take you like less than 30 minutes to make ok and let it dry for over a day and then there you go you have a homemade smoker then all you do is just go to Walmart pick up one of these get the cheapest one they got no matter and uh hook it up and just don't go by one man do not go by one of these smoke testers this was practically you see this stuff up here I just paid for the silicone well I have that laying around and spark plug wires I got a whole bunch laying around in there and the jar was a dollar fifty pressures like 19 bucks 20 bucks for this you go buy one of these smoke testers for cars man you're gonna pay like a good hundred plus forget that man make one okay that's simple look at that check this out when you hook this up this is the end of the holes coming from your homemade deal hook this up to your vacuum brake booster okay why this because this is the biggest hose alright this is the biggest holes available to force air into the intake manifold so use the brake booster hose okay see if we can find the leak right there right there's a vacuum leak right there we got a horse making right there crack vacuum hose from the bottom of the intake manifold underneath the throttle plate that's a manifold vacuum right there okay anyways that's it snuff it right there I tell you make it and it's that simple I'm gonna do a final coat with a silicone come around like that done deal it don't have to be all pretty man this works perfect for checking vacuum leaks in a smoke detector that's a done deal I want to show you this dam right here and use this as an analogy for your life there's a crack right in the center you can see it's about 12 feet maybe plus or minus long it's the dark area right in the center it's oozing down with the black mold or whatever it is you know it's just running water that seeping through that crack anyways so the point is fix those cracks but the only way you can fix those cracks the simple cracks that are consuming you that are too strong for you to overcome is through Jesus Christ there are some things the only Christ can release you from because you are so far embedded into that crack that sinful life that you are just consumed totally and the only way and the only way to patch that up is through the blood of Jesus Christ that's why he came down and died on the cross for you Jesus Christ came down and died on the cross for your sins for my sins and that crack right there represents an analogy for our lives if you let the crack go unchecked unfixed you don't put mortar on it or whatever that crack is going to expand and that crack is going to wreak havoc on your life so get your life straight with Jesus Christ remember this Jesus Christ loves you he died for you all he wants to do is just restore your life bring you back to where you used to be bring you back to where you were supposed to be when you plan your life it kind of like to be wrecked full of sinful desires little tiny things that are destroying your little cracks where Jesus Christ wants to restore your life when your life is so full of sin and you can't find a way out the only cure for that the only way you can fix that crack is through Jesus Christ Jesus Christ is the mortar they can fix that crack let alone not only will they fix it not only will they fix the crap to completely wipe it away that way you don't have to suffer with all this stuff man and then after you allow Jesus Christ in your life to fix those strong desires even the small ones they're slowly destroyed after that your life will have peace God wants to free you God made you usually I'll the Omega God made all this for you to live it for you to enjoy you design you to be hanging out in the streets man doing bad in designing backs not without reason why you without hope you don't know about nobody told you about right now I'm telling you Jesus Christ loves you you free you from all that everything that is destroying you look at that God made all this the birds everything the Bible says the earth is the Lord's and the fullness thereof all this God made you made it for you he made it for me you made it for us remember this you never ever ever give up don't you ever ever give up I don't care what you're going through I don't care who told you you can't make it I don't care what the devil tells you don't you ever ever give up and in Jesus mighty holy name continue to smash on get out there and just crush it man be fearless and go get it
