Vaccuum leaks

[napkinthief]

Ok sometimes when I tap the gas after putting the car in reverse and let go of the gas, the car will die. It also happens when the car is in gear. Someone told me to check for a vaccuum leak. I went over the hoses as good as I can and can not see any broken hoses. Should I just replace all the hoses coming from the tb or is there another way to find this leak?

Assuming your vehicle profile is right on, do boost leak test, and possibly raise idle. Does this only happen in reverse?

My car is a n/t. It happens in drive sometimes, but I dont really just tap the gas pedal when in drive, just like enough to get the car moving and then let go and itll die

your idle air valve could be dirty. I know i had an old n/t talon and it stalled out on me in the middle of an intersection... turned out to be something simple. just give it a shot.

pinch your vacuum lines, if your car idles worse, that vacuum line is ok. If it doesnt do anything, follow that vacuum line, you might have a vacuum line clogged.

We don't have an idle air valve, we have idle air controller servos that open the butterfly valve in the throttle body to achieve the minimal air flow necessary for idle conditions.

You can check the connections to the IAC - it's one of the two things with wires coming out of it on the throttle body; it's also closer to the bottom of the throttle body - the other thing is throttle position sensor.
