Hi Jerry,

I followed a You Tube video with a guy that did it with a cigar.

Firstly I wrapped the aircleaner in a Plastic bag and sealed that.


Next I poked a tube through inlet hole on right hand side of Airbox and sealed and poked tube gently up through sensor plate.

With the air cleaner re attached with rubber straps I then used a Vaping smoke to gently blow smoke through hose... smoke came out of CIS Boot split.

While waiting for a replacement Boot I bypassed this part of the system to check other Vacuum items around Airbox and hoses, by sealing off the two back hoses that go to boot, Throttle Plate and Sensor plate plus Pop Off valve and then introducing smoke to the Brake Booster Vacuum input I checked the rest of the system.... NO further smoke leaks.



Hope this helps others, I will definitely be using the Smoke/Vape test in future to make sure I find leaks.

Brent
