With the engine idling, disconnect a vacuum hose and see if the idle changes. if it does, you do not have a vacuum leak. If the idle remains the same, you do have a vacuum leak. The easiest way to locate it is with a propane torch. Turn on the valve, but do not light the torch, then guide it around any place you suspect the vacuum leak. When the engine idle increases, you've found the spot.

Take care,
