Thought I found all mine, quite a few. Used more flamible spray and sure enough showed a leak there. Gonna go to junkyard and get that entire vacumn harness and the valve. If that doesn't fix my idle checking the charcoal canister. It has hoses to it also, under the spare. When ya fix one another starts to leak, glad I caught this, was getting lean codes. Great video
Found where at the exhaust gas inlet to the intake manifold, the plastic manifold had began rotting away from the inside, presumably from hot gas and oils. The inlet manifold which was past the throttle body had developed pits which basically began leaking.
Should have added I plugged the holes with a couple of layers of jb weld. Since I just did it, I'm not sure how long it will hold, but at least it will get me a chance to replace the manifold.
We just picked up a 01 Taurus. The check engine light is on and we were told it needed 02 sensors. I got the exact same 2 codes you got here engine running lean. Was getting ready to change them but after this video, I'll be checking for a leak today. I hadn't thought about it until this video but it doesn't make sense that 2 sensors go out at the same time. I bet I have a leak somewhere. I have an idea where I'll find it too. I also have a fuel cap loose light on (new cap ordered). I suspect its somewhere around the EGR valve or the EGR valve pressure sensor since I've been told they can cause that light to come on. I actually have both those parts also so it would be great if thats where the problem is.
I noticed you replied to someone saying that part is available on eBay can you please tell me what I would call this part? also I took my hose off like you did and the car shut off but yours didnt any idea why?
I have is the P0171 Lean bank 1. Also a P0113 Intake air temp sensor circuit high input. It's a 2005, 3.0L Duratec DOHC FWD I cleaned my MAF and changed the air filter. Can't hear any obvious vacuum leaks. Car idles fine in Park but shakes a bit in drive at a stop. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for the video. I'm gonna use your technique for location vacuum leaks.
just a hiccup huh? ok. I have that on my Ford truck when I spray and I'll pursue this as well. I was looking for a surge in rpm, but a stutter I guess is also valid. thanks a lot.
Had same codes and i barely found it. It was the hose coming from the PVC valve underneath the intake cover. Having big hands just made it more troublesome to change the hoses and PVC itself
Could you tell me what the vacuum hose is with the green fitting is? It is located on the fire wall left- passenger side, and connects to the back of the top of engine- 2003 ford taurus 3.0
Was 2008 Ford Taurus SEL post cylinder I changed the spark plugs and in the boots and you know in the oil there's an oil leak on somewhere on the engine can't find I have a 2008 Ford Taurus I changed the spark plugs and you know the black boots things to go over them and put put it all back together and now it's leaking oil don't know where to find the oil just can't see it but you'll see it smoking from the motor and you see oil on the ground
Know where the canaster purge valve and selenoid are on these? (2000) Can't find any info on it. Gonna change canaster, I'll find a low mileage one at the jy, then I'm done working on this old poc, still has 172, 174 codes. Just idles like crap half the time. And fans turn on only on heat setting not defrost, can't figure that one out either, nobody can
And be careful of that hard plastic vacumn line, lost my power brakes other day, i must of hit it changing plugs. Repaired bad end with high heat vacumn line. Concerning fuel pump, google image it then make measurements where to cut, I was almost dead on, I cut a "door" under backseat to replace it with tin snips. Folded sheet metal back down and used Gorilla tape to seal cuts.
have 2003 Taurus 3.0 OHV....been having stalling and fast idle issues.speed will increase on it own. when stopped or in park .when i turn on the air or the heater the RPM will fluctuate up and down then car will stall out. have replaced the IAC and MAF don't know what else to check . would you have any ideas
I`ve been researching that issue and yesterday run across a vid on that same . Run a test on the alternator and battery . I was looking to cure problem with 2002 3.0 ranger
@@majorpayne5289 engine was so abused for so long the coolant port on the manifold was almost completely closed with corrosion, the lower gasket was blown out and leaking, and plenum had so much buildup I do not know how it even got air thru it.
is there any way i may email or pm you? my girlfriends car is doing the same thing in this video. same car but 2003. the guy we hired had some ideas but still doesnt really know. if you find the time we would really appercite it. thank you for your videos amd hope you have a nice day
@@oSTYNCLSYo having the same issue I got the same codes I don't hear any whistle so I'm leading to believe it's a intake manifold gaskets the car has 190,000 never had a new gasket
@@djentyman4002 very true. The proper was to do it is using propane from a torch. Don't light it just let the gas come out and use a hose from the nozzle to let the gas come out and go around your engine. It's better then this because if you spray this you can catch your car to catch on fire but that it'll be just a tiny ball of fire but your engine won't be on fire lol
That's your O2 sensors....something electrical is not right....Check you wires etc going to your 02 sensors....there not getting a connection sounds like.
Hey Buddy my name is DeanMachine ...I to have the same problem as far the codes. I will try the Carb cleaner technique. I do want to know if you live in Houston, TX by any luck ....my car is a 2006 Ford Five Hundred 3.0 DOHC check out my channel if you get a chance & I will update you on my air leak in a week or so !!!

Found my leak at the PCV valve. Your video definitely does help many!
Nice!
Thank you for posting! I have the PO171 and PO174 trips on our 2004 Taurus. Hopefully this will help me track it down. Thanks again!
These cars seem to have there share of cracked hoses from age.

This was a relief to find. I has been very helpful.

Fuel trim going crazy.
Shop wants a lot to replace some freeze plugs at the back of the engine. Does it require pulling the motor? Thanks in advance for your help.
Probably so ;( I've have very few auto with bad freeze plugs. Just your luck!
Thanks for sharing helped out found the leek
thanks for the video on this ,now we can started looking for the leak on our 00 Ford Taurus
Good luck! I'm replacing head gaskets on a 2000 3.0 ford taurus tonight...ugh....Fords....
That was very helpful
Nice comment!
What is that hose call going from your intake hose into the engine by the oil ??
Good video I have the same problem but I am using coolant any advice ?
Look for a leak ;)
Big thanks Buddy
Well this is a timely video. It's September again and my daughter has the same car with the same codes. 😁👍
O no! Start with checking vacuum leaks!
@Nathan Rohrbough just wondering if you got a po420 and po430 codes as well?
No.
5:04 my favorite part of the movie
Thank God for you!!! U the man!!!
Word!~
Good stuff, nice work.

Thanks for this video, you really saved me money and time!
I did this to my ca……Kaboom 🔥

Make sure all vacuum lines are ok and no air leaks including the intake assembly air cleaner.
I`ve been researching that issue and yesterday run across a vid on that same . Run a test on the alternator and battery . I was looking to cure problem with 2002 3.0 ranger
I've always done the air leak test with propane. A torch that is on, but not lit.
Do you have a video on changing the upper intake manifold gaskets? 2000 ford taurus? vulcan.
Not yet.....lol
@@FixingWithPassion you should check out the inside of my manifold, holy shit!! Seriously

Kenneth Burlingham I did mine after watching this guys video Ford Taurus Intake Manifold Gaskets ruclips.net/video/K9bwWZgBvhg/видео.html
did your engine run smoothly or did you have driveability issues?
It ran ok but after I found the leak it ran smoother ;)
Thank you man, saved me a shit ton than going to the damn mechanic.
Very helpful video.
good job thank you
I had just the P0171.
is there any way i may email or pm you? my girlfriends car is doing the same thing in this video. same car but 2003. the guy we hired had some ideas but still doesnt really know.
if you find the time we would really appercite it. thank you for your videos amd hope you have a nice day
good video
My fuel injectors have bad Orings that allow air being sucked in on both banks lol
Wow good catch!
Nathan Rohrbough yup my lower orings are dry rotted and cracked they leak so bad it whistles lol I'm replacing them tomorrow. Thank you for the video

👕👍Great!

Whats of spray is that
Spray can.
@@FixingWithPassion what kind of spray can. Or what staff ." Carburetor "?
I think carb cleaner??
Can you use soapy water bottle to conduct this test???
Probably not.
Water will actually do just fine. Don’t need to be soapy either
I wouldnt. Don't want water sucked into your engine. It's a vacuum line.
Chase Akmal also don’t want flammable carb cleaner going into your engine either
