yea i'm going through that right now with mine, a vac leak that is. when we did my motor swap we didn't finish until after the parts stores closed... it was 9pm, i was in atlanta and had to be in NC by morning.... so we just said screw it and i have been driving with a vac leak ever since. there's 2 under the TB, one coming out from the IM between the TB and the cylinder-shaped thing (IACV), one on the back-passengerside corner for the heatercore valve, one on the back driverside corner for the fuel pressure regulator, one big one for the brake booster, and a whole bunch on the driverside of the engine where the 2 solenoids (brown and green) are, and some going down from the end of that to a charcoal canister beneath the driverside headlight. not to mention the larger breather hoses and the PCV hose.
my car is missing the one from the passenger-side of the TB back to the EGR solenoid. idle bogs to 700 and rythmically dips to 550 and back up to 700, at about the same pace you'd dribble a basketball. and then in the mornings when it's really cold i'll start the car and it goes to 1500rpm but then creeps up toward 2000rpm before falling to 400 (yea 400, not 1400) and trying to stall. one morning it did stall, but usually it just tries to stall for about 10 seconds then goes back to 1500 and stumbles around up there for a while until the car warms up.
