What are some useful tips or tools to use. i know i went to ron's and i think he had propane and he was trying to use that to find one. i am just stuck, my car obviously has to have a vaccum leak, but i can't find it anywhere, i tightened up the crossover and put some quick weld around it as an extra preventitive. the car still idles like crap. i can hear a little hissing noise in the back of the engine, but can't find anything.

monitor IAC's with an atap at idle . low IAC's mean leak less than 40.

SPray the crap out of everywhere you think you might have a leak with brake cleaner..use the nozzle on it if you can.. it should surge if you have a leak. Spray the TB area. all vacuum lines.. etc etc.
