Default Surging and stalling

I would warm my car warms up to operating temp and put it in D and it would surge/stall.. I have to give it a little gas to keep it alive when i put it in D or Park. If it was a vacum leak where can I look to find them?

check your vacuum tree also, most importantly try to listen for the leak or spray carb cleaner and see if the motors sound changes.

most common is the rubber hose that runs under the upper intake manifold... you usually have to remove the upper to get to it
