Vacuum leak?
when im driving in my 87 trans am and i come to a stop light my car decides to die on me almost ever time. if i brake hard it will die but if i slowly brake in to the stop some times it will stay alive, if it dies it starts right back up like nothing happen. could this be a vacuum leak in one of my old hoses

Re: Vacuum leak?
Also when the car is revving in neutral in the driveway and the gas is dropped it doesn't die. Only while under load.

Re: Vacuum leak?
Yeah that is an indication of a vacuum leak, but check the egr valve and the egr valve solenoid.
