Finding the leak ain't so bad. Go get yourself a vacuum tester kit. Same thing as those 1 person brake bleeder tools. Hook it in to the vacuum tree and see if the vacuum is low. Should pull around 16 @ idle with a stock cam. If not, start pinching off various parts of the rubber hoses leading to different things until it starts to move towards 16, then you've found the culprit system.

Don't forget that a vacuum leak doesn't necessarily have to be a vacuum line. The intake manifold gaskets are under a vacuum, and if they leak, you have a vacuum leak. Use carb cleaner or starting fluid to check the gaskets for air leaks while its running.

and i forgot to mention when i bought it. the kid said it had a high stall torque converter could that be an issue?

Xsentric

when u say vacuum tree u meen distribution block. or can it go on anywhere?

Xsentric

i checked dont have tool yet but does the egr sapose to always have vac. it had none but the fuel pressure reg. did and when i pulled it off idle came up a lil and sounded better??

mattdel

no, the egr receives a switched vacuum dependent on RPM. Still need you to check fuel pressure and report back. 32psi running with vac on, 39psi without vac.

What is done to the car that it needs a high stall torque convertor?

Xsentric
