Could be too high of fluid pressue inside the transmission.Do you have any codes in the computer?I have also seen bad inlet air temp sensor connectors cause that.

I doubt a vaccuum leak is causing the inlet air temp sensor circuit high voltage.Also would cause the P0315 crank sensor not learned.

Looks like the canister purge solenoid nipple broke off.No a vacuum leak isnt going to cause your P0102.
