manifold

An intake manifold leak occurs when there is a break in the seal between the intake manifold and the engine block. This can cause a variety of problems, including:

• Loss of power
• Rough idling
• Stalling
• Increased emissions

There are a few different ways to check for an intake manifold leak. One way is to use a smoke machine. A smoke machine will introduce smoke into the intake manifold, and if there is a leak, the smoke will escape. Another way to check for a leak is to use a stethoscope. A stethoscope can be used to listen for the sound of air leaking from the intake manifold.
