You can sometimes find an intake leak by squirting ether starting spray judiciously around the intake manifold area. Go slowly to let the last bit of ether evaporate before spraying again. If the car suddenly increases idle RPM, then you'll have found a leak. Be careful, and only do this in a well ventilated area. This is not a gauranteed method, but usually you can eliminate gasket leak this way.

> what could also prove a gasket leak is spraying water on it...this would cause the engine to run even worse...There is al lot less fire hazard when applying this method but it could be harder to spot the difference.
