Application
The STP-1000 helps technicians quickly and accurately diagnose common leak sources that may be a cause to lean, evap and other drive-ability trouble codes. With the variable flow control, technicians can adjust smoke output and perform pressure decay testing, which can test leaks that may be too small to see in the flowmeter, yet still trigger DTCs. The STP-1000 is used to test leaks in evap, vacuum and exhaust systems.
