Re: Vacuum leak
Ditto on the bolts. I just replaced the belt on my 89 YJ because it was
squealing, New belt same old squeal.
sprayed water from a squirt bottle at various suspected points and found
that a bolt on the intake was loose.
Tightened it and the squeal vanished, but not the bill for the new belt.

Re: Vacuum leak
I just noticed that you said your friend used Ether to check for vac
leaks....... Jim this doesn't seem like a good idea to me as Ether as
we all know is quite volitile. I would use carb cleaner and listen for
the engine to stumble as it gets sucked in the leak, carb cleaner is
not very combustable.

Re: Vacuum leak
ah yes.......ether.
While in phy school, one of my closest friends (no longer here - died @ age
36 from a stroke) tried to start his car with ether. He had his mother crank
it over while he sprayed the ether down the carb. I was just walking up to
see what he was doing & the engine back fired & died (lucky). The only
problem was that a small spark had jumped up into the middle of his head. He
had a large cloud of smoke coming from the top of his head & he didn't feel
a thing. I guess he saw the look on my face & he turned and looked at his
reflection in the window - we both panicked, put it out with a jacket or
something & then while still down on the lawn we busted out laughing about
how he looked like he was in some cartoon episode with the smoke billowing
from his head. I guess it was mainly one of those nervous things you do
after what could have been a tragedy but , thank god, was not. His mother
got out of the car, called us something in Portugese & didn't speak to us
for several days. My wife was behind me, & we laugh about this once or twice
a year.

reflection in the window - we both panicked, put it out with a jacket or
something & then while still down on the lawn we busted out laughing about
how he looked like he was in some cartoon episode with the smoke billowing
from his head. I guess it was mainly one of those nervous things you do
after what could have been a tragedy but , thank god, was not. His mother
got out of the car, called us something in Portugese & didn't speak to us
for several days. My wife was behind me, & we laugh about this once or twice
a year.
