Do the HF sniffers detect 134a? I thought vstech told me something about the fact that a sniffer can't smell 134, you have to evac and then charge up with N2 and 4 oz of R22 for the sniffer to find it.

It says it will work with R134a in the description.

With my car, I'm about 90% sure it's the evap. because I can smell it with my own nose, no need for fancy equipment!

I know they say r134 is supposed to be odorless but I can smell something funky, like oily in the interior of the car and it's not a normal engine/oil/transmission/antifreeze type smell.
