I read in a Mustang Tuning book that it is not safe to use carburator/TB cleaner to check for a vacuum leak. Is there any truth to that or is there something else better I can use to check besides taking it in to a shop.
You do run the risk of catching something on fire but if you pay close attention(less than 1%) to what you're doing you should be ok. It is a very effective way to find vacume leaks. I've been diong it like that for years with no problem. Make sure your ignition system is sound before doing so.
Thanks for the warning...I am pretty sure I do not want to find out the hard way. I will try the starter fluid. I guess I can pick that up at any auto shop, right?
