[Shotimes] Aggrevating engine problem

[Thesing, Hunter M.]

I replaced the IAB valve last spring, so I don't think that would be the
problem.  How would I go about finding a vacuum leak?  Could I use Teflon or
electrical tape for a temporary fix?  I've never dealt with vacuum leaks
before, but it has crossed my mind as a possible culprit.

On my '97 the rpms would wander and usually would drop so low the engine
would die.  It was a vacuum leak.
