you could try using a type of plaster, like construction silicon, or maybe try using some kind of putty.
depending on what engine maker it is , likely an intake manifold or vacuum leak, ck that first
P2173 High AirFlow/ Vacuum Leak Detected (Slow Accumulation).You have a vacuum leak in the intake manifold.P2173 High AirFlow/ Vacuum Leak Detected (Slow Accumulation).You have a vacuum leak in the intake manifold.
I am having a stalling problem and I heard it can be the cause of a vacuum leak and if that is true how can i fix it and where is it at?
Need to know the location of the vacuum leak in order to answer this.
not usually
First you have to locate the source of the vacuum leak, then determine the next step how to repair it.
Check for a vacuum leak on the intake. if there is no vacuum leak then you will need to rebuild the carburator. if your bike is injected change out the injecters
Look for a vacuum leak.
NO. You MUST replace the intake gasket.
Mine was behind the intake manifold. I took mine to the dealer, I'm not confident enough to do it myself. It cost $550 for parts and labor.
bad vacuum hoses or leaking intake manifold gaskets.
As with any internal combustion engine, the vacuum leak can be anywhere on the intake side, including intake manifold gasket, cracked intake manifold, EGR valve, throttle body gasket and even the vacuum operated devices can contribute to leaking, such as the vacuum assisted brakes or vacuum operated vent system. Starting fluid can often be helpful when searching for a vacuum leak; search the likely places, listening for the the typical hissing sound. Once you find a place that you suspect of the leak, spray a little of the starting fluid. When the starting fluid hits a vacuum leak the engine RPM's change slightly. Good luck.
