I was curious, if there were to be a vacuum leak on an ka24e, what would be the most likely leak

Just take starter fluid and slowly spurt the outside of hoses with the car on. If the idle raises then that hose has a leak. Keep doing it until you check all hoses.

You aren't really a Kiyoshi are you?

instead of starter fluid, try a propane from a tourch. dont light it just open the valve and trace your vaccums lines with it. when you get near a leak the idle will rise.

Just don't smoke a cigarette around when you're doing this. Especially with the propane.

Oh. Kiyoshi is what we call my master since he's a 7th degree black belt.
