vacuum leaks are usually at the ends of the lines and are cracks which develope due to age. a short snip at the ends and re-hook will usually fix any of them. but if you want to use some kind of spray, use liquid nitrogen or some other easily visible gas from a spray can. if it leaks, it will suck into the line, never out.

counting on what motor option you have in that motor vehicle, there are quite a few places for it to leak...despite if it is a 3100 V6, there is the brake booster vacuum hose in direction of the firewall middle of the motor.... The quickest thank you to discover a vacuum leaks is to start up the vehicle up...permit it idle...Spray Carburator cleanser around the area which you think of the leak is placed....while and if the Idle is going up, you have got placed the vacuum leak...The idle advance because it sucks the fluid into the vacuum lines... this is the quickest and least complicated thank you to discover a vacuum leak

spray carb cleaner aerosol like Gumout or a similar product on lines and joints and fittings - when you spray on to a leak the engine revolutions - rpm's - will increase briefly while the fluid is filling the leak - spray it on the mounting joint of your intake manifold and throttle body injector also

"Just Cal " has got it right, but forgot the warnings. Have a good fire extinguisher handy and spray in small doses outside where the fumes can disperse and any fire that you can't put out will consume nothing more than your car. The engine should speed up slightly when spraying starter fluid near the link.
