Vacuum Leaks - tutorial needed

[Jayboundless]

Hello Pelicanites, I am wondering if someone can provide a comprehensive tutorial/ verbal diagram of all possible culprits of a vacuum leak on a 3.2 engine. It seems there are only very fragmented descriptions and suggestions posted on this topic in response to multiple engine problems. Wouldn't it be nice to have one source for this information?! Or maybe this exists somewhere and you can point me to it.

Thanks much in advance!

I'd be interested in that as well

well no diagram, but for a 3.2 certainly check:

power brake contraption
vacuum lines for fuel dampner/pressure regulator
intake runners
fuel injector o-rings
pcv valve
oil cap
idle bypass screw o-ring

Basically everywhere there is a hose connected to the intake!

Were you having an idle problem? My idle is acting up and I was about to start following the recommendation for looking for vacuum leaks, but had no idea where to start.

Intake runners as stated above, the intake to head gaskets disintegrate.
