Research online seems everyone is says vacuum leak but can’t find 1 and don’t have a smoke machine can anyone help
 
Tracking vacuum leak can be a little tricky. But a can of carburetor cleaner spray can help. With the engine running, spray around the vacuum lines, where you might think it is leaking (fitting or around curves). The idle will change if there is a leak. Another is to make your own smoke machine. There are all kind on Youtube, I choose the cheap solder gun method.
