Can't Find Vacuum Leak?

My car has a vacuum leak by the ninth injector, but I can't figure out exactly where it is coming from. The gasket on the intake is the correct one for the ninth injector also. Did anyone here have a problem like this? What else should I check?

Re: Can't Find Vacuum Leak?

as i have always done get super soapy water and place it near the leakage spot. if done correctly, bubbles will form and hence the location of your leak.
hope it helps

You could try an ultrsonic leak detector. You might be able to rent one from an auto shop. That would find your leak for sure.

Well I thought that the ninth injector might not have been sealing itself against the runner so I changed it with another one I had and it fixed the problem. Thanks for the help.
