Vacuum diagram needed

Does anyone happen to have a vacuum diagram? I am hunting a vacuum leak and don't want to miss any connections.

Not on-hand, but if it exists, you will find it in here: http://iihs.net/fsm/?dir=499

Thanks for the link, that was the first place I checked, which didn't seem to have anything.
 
I have spoken with Steve from BFR finding a vacuum leak. Are there any common areas where vacuum tends to leak? I recently had a motor replaced so it is possible not everything was plugged up correctly.

Check all the hoses going to the air intake and throttle body (or check the condition of any of the plugs/caps if you have them capped off), then to/from the brake booster.

These cars don't have miles upon miles of vacuum line like the 1980s cars did.

Will do, I thought about checking the intake first to see if I can find anything.

Also check the PCV hose connections and make sure none of them are cracked allowing outside air in. That will introduce air behind the MAF and cause you to run lean.
