Progressive idle problem...

Well when I got my car it idled perfect just about. Then it started fluxuating every so much. Then it would almost die when going around turns with out giving it gas out of gear or having the clutch pushed down. Then it would actually die when turning some. Just now, the car wouldn't idle at all? I am going to look for intake leaks but if I don't find any what could make it get worse and worse? Thanks alot.

What is the best method to look for leaks? Is spraying starter fluid around my engine safe or is there another way? My car has 104k miles on it but the engine was rebuilt about 5 months ago and the car sat the whole time.

CHECK THE PRIMARY INJECTORS, INTAKE LEAKS, ADJUST TPS.

if you still have ps, then its prolly the air supply valve, check that out before you change anything...its located on the back of the intake manifold, the side near the firewall, its a large white connector i think?

i diconnected mine, because i have no ps, and my idle dropped like some hookers pants hehe, but in your case it might unplugged and not adjusting the idle for when you ps increased load on the engine....
anyways

heres some links to other stuff to check while that is getting looked at:
