    Hi there new to the forum. I have been trying to solve a P0171.
    I have cleaned the MAF sensor, but code is still popping up. Got my self a smoke machine to test for vacuum leaks. I just need your expert opinion where to stick this smoke machine. Nobody has a tutorial online so I hope you guys can guide me! Or point me in the right direction.

    Thanks in advance!
    Mike

    Green threaded tire valve lookin affair . Screw smoke fitting to that . There should be a basic tutorial and basic practice on several YouTube videos throughout the planet of car repair I'm sure . Generally those green plastic screw on connectors . Have a lot to do with.
