But I can't find a vac diagram anywhere. My car's idle is at 3,000 and on de-acceleration I can hear a VERY loud whistle. I checked the TSRM and couldn't find diagrams. And when the idle lowers to 1,000 (I have to do it by hand (Throttle)) it rumbles really bad.

Starter fixed, now it runs like shit.

EDIT
Found vac diagrams, still runs like shit

And the diagram I do have is for a turbo

Just kidding. Sounds like you have a large vacume leak. If it's that loud you should be able to find it.

Like half my lines are unpluged.. But it sound like it's coming from the intake manifold. I know it's vac lines because my intake manifold is in there REALLY good, brand new gasket and sealer.

Half your lines are unpluged? You think maybe that's were the leak might be?

Have you pulled you fuel injectors lately, I had the same kinda thing going on. The old injector O-rings were cracked and leaking air at idle, sounded like a Big vac leak.

Use a piece of heater hose to your ear and move it around, you should be able to narrow the leak down doing that.

Shouldn't it leak lots of gas then too? Mine sure did, almost a fountain:icon_bigg

Did you make sure you got all the old gasket off both mating surfaces before you put the intake together? If there's any old gasket in there, it will leak. You need to take it to a shop and get them to put a smoke machine on it. You'll know where your leak is then.

At idle mine didnt leak a drop of gas, I sat in my garage for like half an hour with it at idle trying to track it down and no thing was wet. I drove it like 5 minutes the back of the fuel rail area was dripping wet with gas but it evaps so fast you can miss it easy.

Could also be the EGR gasket on the intake leaking...

If the injectors are leaking at the fuel rail, it'll be gas. If they're leaking at the intake, it'll be vacuum.
