Default DIY Vacuum Leak Detector

Hey guys, just wanted to show you something I threw together to locate a vacuum leak. I used a spray bottle I picked up in a set from Sam's Club but anything that fits the MAF can be used. With a little garden hose connected to an inner tube pump/vacuum you're good to go. Depending on which side of the pump you plug into, you can pull a vacuum or pressurize the system. It only took a few pumps and I found where one of the factory hose clamps upstream of the Idle air valve was leaking. Just thought I should throw this out there in case someone else wants to try it.
