    Smoke Test

    Does anyone know a place near Roseville where I can get my car smoke tested for cheap? I'm a college student so I don't have much money, and i'm trying to troubleshoot a stalling problem before I head back to school.

    Thanks!

        No, a smoke test. I want to see if my car has any vacuum leaks.

          you can do it the cheap free way spray around all the vacuum lines with a flammable aerosol and see if your cars rpm changes from the outside fuel source

            Try calling Paul at FW motorsports in rocklin. He pretty much only works on subarus but I know he has a smoke machine. Very fair and honest guy.

              I also read you light up a cigar and blow the smoke in through the intake boot (i think thats what it said) and just keep going..
