    Thanks Joe!

    I might just jump ahead and replace all of the vac lines in the truck. I've replaced a few vac lines and some coolant lines already.

    There's still that misfire sensor too, could be worth looking at.

    That's the sensor I'm working with, the sensor is brand new.

    I'll run tests on it again just to be sure there are no open wires in the circuit.

    That home made smoke pump is pretty sweet. I might just do that anyways.

    I've seen a D battery powered air pump called

    "Quiet Bubbles" in the fishing supplies of Walmart
    for around $10.

    So about the same cost as the
    110 volt aquaruim pump vs buying D cell batteries.

    Made a smoke can!

    2 fittings with a rubber sticker around it so air doesn't come out around the fittings. Got those from work, they come in handy. I also put a shutoff valve on the can, decided to use my air compressor and just turn the pressure down to around 5psi. It works pretty good, tried it out with some burning leaves inside. They burn to quick to keep steady flow of smoke though.

    Heading to the gas station to get a cigar.

    Now I smell like a black and mild.

    The homemade smoke can works pretty good. Smoked the system but the only smoke that came out was through the throttle body. I gotta get some rubber gloves to throw around the throttle body openings, tried using a plastic bag but I couldn't get it to seal tight enough.

    Wrap a rubber band around the bag.
