Buy 10ft worth of vac line hose and cut to fit. Usally the vac lines that cause problems are the ones above the turbo.

There are several methods for finding it. One of them is using a can of carb cleaner and spraying it around the vacuum hoses while the car is running. If the idle changes, you have found a leak.

The other methods and more detail about this one are covered on this forum. Try searching for "finding vacuum leaks" or something like that.

You need about 15 feet of 3.5 MM vaccuum hose and about 6 feet of 6 MM hose to replace all the lines in the car. Trust me it's worth the time and effort.

This is my favorite. Cheap and easy. May not get the little ones, but good enough for gov'ment work.

Also to the OP, you got to give more than 12 minutes for someone to reply to you.

Sometimes ( a lot of times) small leaks can create big problems
