hey fellas....and ladies....lately my SR is weak..(slow throttle reponse at low rpm along with lots of power loss...idle also drops to 2-300 during deceleration and then picks up after a few seconds)...i compression tested my car and everything seems fine...so i figure....vacum leak....i've check with carb cleaner and soapy water but i heard that there was another method where you can compress air into the system while the car is off and find leaks that way...has anyone done this and how? procedure and psi? thanks in advance.

There is a tool that checks if there is a vacume leak in your cars vacume source. I have never used one before. I found one at Sears but check online. I checked mine by just removing (in my turbo lines) and put my thumb over the end of it. Sorry that I couldn't have been more helpful
