Description from the creator

In this video, I show you how to find and vacuum leak using the brake cleaner method. This is done to solve problem codes P1151 and P1131. A vacuum leak can result in an incorrect air/fuel ratio, poor gas mileage, and will cause the car to bog when accelerating and have a rough/low idle. My car seen and used in this video is a 1995 Ford Mustang 3.8 liter V6.

KEEP A FIRE EXTINGUISHER READY AND CLOSE AT ALL TIMES. I CANNOT STRESS THIS ENOUGH! I am also not responsible for any damage done to your vehicle.

Note: I said in the video that the hose "isn't very short" when I meant to say that it wasn't very long.

EDIT: Today is December 26th and the car has showed improvement when warming up, so i think I still have a small vacuum leak somewhere else. But despite this its still quite better than it used to be.
