vacuum leak
well, I have gotten all the kinks out of the rx-7 after porting the manifold. It now cranks up noramally and wants to return to what is a noraml idle but dies. this is most likley a leak. How can I find it? I used a plate to block off my AVC valve. I think it maybe leaking because it is not secured. Any suggestions.

The lower intake gasket is a royal pain. I thought I could reuse mine, but I didn't see a missing piece. Took the intake off again and spent over 2 hours cleaning off the old stuck on gasket. No gaskets were available locally, so I reassembled it with Permatex Ultra BLack RTV sealant, applied it carefully, followed the directions, let it set first and bolted it up. The idle now purrs at 800.
