hey all, i got a well done 95 impreza with an 02 wrx swap. started dying at idle, and if it idles, dies as soon as i put it in gear. i have installed new everything relating to fuel and air, and now all the symptoms are pointing to a smaller vacuum leak. I was wondering some methods yall have used to find something, or if anyone has had any insight on something similar.

Can use a budget smoke machine. Kids inflatable thing has an inlet and an outlet. stick a lit cigarette in the inlet, connect outlet to your intake manifold somewhere. Pump away.

many other sources for that or similar. and yes the cigarette fits perfectly lol @last sluice

if you need it to have more capacity, pick up a cheap cigar at a convenience store and remove the little reducer on the inlet and it fits a cigar lol
