look for loose , broken , missing vacuum lines , pvc function , , may have intake gasket leak , blast some carb cleaner down the barrel

All the vacuum lines have been checked and it has a new intake gasket, i tried the carb cleaner but it didnt do anything, thanks for the tip. Quite the mystery that little car is.
