yep there's a vacuum hose that goes from the brake booster to the back of the intake manifold.
The other two imperative vacuum lines are map sensor and fuel pres reg. Check im/tb gaskets, injector seals, hoses, pcv.
Have you tried increasing idle speed? I think that's your problem.

 

i try increasing idle but the computer readjusts for me bak to like 1100
as for the gaskets...the only wya to tell if there bad is to remove the parts or wut? any quik way to tell?

spray carb cleaner where you suspect the leak. Idle will change when you located the leak.

 

ok...well then apparently switching the hoses around fixed my problem of it dying everytime i brake...now my idle is jus realy random and sometimes dies...so i dunno wuts wrong now...
