Answer
Hi Dee -

It would help greatly if I can get the code that was read from the computer. That would narrow down the cause tremendously.

If the engine is idling rough, you might want to get some carburetor cleaner and sparingly spray different parts of the engine. When you spray an area and the idle improves, you have found the vicinity of the vacuum leak.

Hope this helps -
