i have a 91 olds cutlass supreme 3.1L v6 4door 121,075mi. i've had an idle speed control replaced but it still stalls just not as much,when the engine stalls the power on the dash is still present. i was told by 1 mechanic i might have a vacuum leak present in fuel injection system or total fuel injection malfunction or a vacuum leak period. the plastic vacuum lines that attach to my throttle body(well connection there seems loose and cracked) could that affect the way my car starts or would that make the engine stall at traffic stops?

if the hoses are cracked then they could be leaking.the iac can be cleaned out if you are careful and don't scratch it all up on the piston and in the bore.
