Yes, replace the gasket,

Any auto parts store will have vacuum line. Try to find the silicone line it will hold up to heat better.

Get the injectors professionally cleaned. They can test the spray pattern and flow rate. Try witchhunter, or check locally maybe you can find a shop close to you. There was a member that did this for $60 at one point, but I can't who that was. They were in the vendor section.

Alright guys i pulled the upper intake manifold off.... NOT GOOD... i have plugs that are like desintigrated wires melted together one of the plugs ground wires is pulled out cuz theres a random black wire sticking out of the mess.... wtf.... can anyone make anything out of this and if this may fix my problem i want to attach the pictures but they will be quite big


EDIT.... One of the wires that has the random black wire with no end coming out of it is the wire with the ring snap that plugs into the BAC valve.... THE one with the toasted connections and the wires touching goes to the air control valve....

o believe me it was haha... okay i got it to idle down to about 800 or so rpms.... its rough but it is down.... NOW would the coolant temperature sending unit cause this problem because my ecu is throwing the code for it being bad.... so i need to replace it where is it located? i see a temp sending unit i think to the left or toward the passenger side of the alternator

Alright guys it is idling at 800 rpms now EXCELLENT super stoked even though its rough.... still cutting out at 3000rpm ish.... i drove it around my field real quick could barly push the gas and it would go real slow.... as soon as i wanted to accelerate again and push the gas it would rev perfect untill 3000 rpm's then it pops alot or it will just not do anything and drop back down

okay i noticed today that once it warms up it seems to want to rev easier so i let it get warmer and i took it out on the road.... again it seems to want to cut out sometimes when it gets near 3000 or so rpms.... but other times it will do it fine... still building no boost either
