I wish I could help you, but I only have 3 days with my LX so I dont know lots of stuff yet... Probably someone would help you out easy with this pic...

well the vaccum lines should be located under the right fender. check them with a gauge or go to a shop that can. you might want to get this checked fast. i let mine go and from time to time my car would just shut off when i came to stops. but its fixed now.

Does it drop back to stock idle speed if you turn it off and restart it? My '87 would do that. TPS was bad.

your best bet is to turn on the car and listen for any air, and if you hear anythin(air suction) then plug it up, you may b able to use like intake cleaner or somethin to check but spray it in the area where you hear the suction and if the rpms jump then thats where the vaccume leak is at

that's good stuff right there... im gonna try that when i get home
