Re: vacuum leak questions

["Alex Ting" <alext@nu2u.net>]

ok, so all this talk about flammable shit and exploding
intakes has me a bit worried.  Is there a better way to find vacuum leaks?

And I didn't think the hesitation was ignition related, because it's
not consistent thru the revs.  Wouldn't that sort of problem not just
be confined to low revs?

thanks,
