Ok.. So I have recently fitted an Airtec snorkel onto my Sierra..
And I have gone to connect the snorkel up to the air intake..
BUT.. I have discovered that the pipe that I am supposed to be connecting the snorkel up to.. Is sucking in little if not no air..
I have NO idea why!!
I pulled the air filter box off and checked for cracks etc. But none exist.. So I would like to know.. Why on earth the thing isn't sucking in air!

Air intake issues..
Air intake issues..
I have a 1991 model Sierra, it has been crashed, thrashed, bashed and rolled, but she will still get me up any damn hill I point her at! And that's why I call her Suzy.
Re: Air intake issues..
Is there a good seal around the top of the carby?

Re: Air intake issues..
Yeah brand new!
I have checked the air flow all the way to the beginning of the air box.. But then it just seems to lose suction..

Re: Air intake issues..
Does the engine run? are you just putting your hand over the intake trying to feel for suction? If the engine runs it's gotta be sucking air from somewhere
I know my old airbox didn't completely seal and there was a small hole in the bottom of it too.

Re: Air intake issues..
If you can block the air pipe from the airbox entirely and the motor doesn't stall then you;ve got a vaccuum leak somewhere. If you've checked the carby to the airbox then it's possibly post carby. This could create other issues too.
