Not really, but are you sure that all the lines are capped and there isn't a vacuum leak?

yea ive replaced both the lower pleum gasket and the manifold gasket. Im waiting on a egr gasket from the nissan dealership im going to remove all those lines and cap everything.

Whats a good way to check for vaccum leaks? without using carb cleaner because my motor is paint.. and the shop i brought it to sprayed it and ****ed it up so i had to do it again..
