buy some carb cleaner and start spaying the lines while car is running. once sprayed at a particular line the rpm will drop and boom! replace that line

if idle doesnt surge when spaying all of the lines then check the iacv

Wats up ? Just wanted to say I've heard of people putting a cup of sea foam and letting the vacum line take it in and remove all that junk out and thier car ran better .I myself havn't tried it yet. Though, I've tried seafoam in my crankcase and fuel tank and swear by it. Sandman67
