A really good way to test for vac leaks: Get yourself a gas torch (butane or propane). Get the car idling at normal running temperature. Turn on the gas, but *don't* light it. Bring the unlit torch close to suspected sources of vac leaks. If you have a vac leak, you'll hear the idle change. Be careful when doing this. Stay away from the exhaust side, and from the ignition area. -- Grunff
