Any decent repair shop will have a smoke machine tester that is used for diagnosing EVAP systems on modern cars, it is also great for finding tiny vacuum leaks as smoke will come out of those as well.

If you are mechanical and don't mind fiddling with it or parting it out if it looks like too much just go for it. One caveat is that the car must be in great shape other than the engine problem,...
