Re: [DML] vacuum leaks

[Martin Gutkowski <martin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Most modern engines use air density metering which incorporates a 
Manifold Air Pressure (MAP) sensor and Manifold Air Temperature (MAT) 
sensor. From these two readings, a figure for air entering the engine 
can be calculated, and fuel metered accordingly. These engines do not 
suffer mixure problems  resulting from vacuum leaks.
