Re: vacuum leak?
It's 1800 .I checked with brake cleaner found no leaks .no codes but I loosened the tps and moved it and it droped .the throttle body is new its something to do with that tps .when the car is running I sware I here a leak so is was wondering it that's how you's just sound?.its sounds like air moving through the runners? I switch this car from 305 tbi to 350 tpi and I have had a ton of problems.

Re: vacuum leak?
First the TPS should be between .54 and .75 volts, https://www.thirdgen.org/tpimod2 ,also adjust the IAC as described in link. I like .65 volts. As for air leaks, you can by an automotive stethascope for cheap or use a peice of small hose to your ear and move around at different gaskets. Are all vacuum lines attached and not broke? Where do you think you hear the leak from?
