Re: Vacuum Leak?!?!?!?!?

Try plugging the hose going to the EGR valve to see what happens.

Otherwise, it'll be the same old thing.... Start with the fuel pressure and go from there.

My IAC valve has never failed me, but you could try a search to see if anyone tells how to check it. My EGR system has caused me all kinds of trouble in the past though.
