Default Diagnosing P0300 with smoke machine....video inside.

Having this P0300 code after installing my sts turbo (prior to tuning). Most vehicles this could be a weak coil or vacum leaks. Since the LS has multiple coils i figured it would throw a P0301-308 if one of the coils were bad or weak. I borrowed a smoke machine from one of my shops and this is what I found. My blackberry has a crappy mic so you may have to turn the volume down a bit. Looks like I have a broken HVAC line, a leaky catch can (ebay) and possible injector o- ring troubles. It really helps to have the right tools to diagnose these problems!

Nice job, man! That looks like it could come in very handy.

You should definitely keep this thread updated with your progress. I'd love to know if fixing the issues you found with the Smoke Machine eliminate the Misfire Code.
