Does the car have idle stumbling issues at all?

You should grab a carb cleaner and spray on vacuum hoses one at a time, until your idle changes. Then check that one for any cracks.

ya carb cleaner is the easiest way to find a vacuum leak make sure you check around where the upper runners and lower plenum connect those gaskets go bad
