The vacuum leak sounds like it might be it. I haven't even begun to mess with all that. I did a visual inspection earlier and noticed a couple connectors that weren't snug fit, but I couldn't get to them as they were recessed under the intake octopus. I have officially garaged the car and suspended the insurance for now so I can do some much needed work like replacing the fuel lines between the rail and injectors which are really worn, and I figured when I was working on that I would take the intake manifold off to clean around the engine real good and that would give me a chance to tighten all the vacuum lines. Lots to do, but that's kind of why I bought the car, these old Porsches are just so much fun to work on.
