Engine is running rough at idle. I replaced two rotten rubber lines. I used carburetor cleaner to help locate any vacuum leaks. I found that when I spray by the idle air control valve it idles up. I can barely see what is behind the IAC let alone identify anything? Are there vacuum hoses running behind the IAC? The following codes have been set:

P1131
P1151
P0102

Thank you for your time.

Good morning.

The upper intake is behind the IAC.

When you disconnect the IAC wires, does the engine run about 500 rpm?

The engine runs between 500 and 600 rpms with IAC connected. Disconnect the IAC and it will not idle. It starts then shuts off. I forgot to mention I can hear the sucking of air coming from the firewall. I just cannot pinpoint it.

The engine should idle at 500-600 with it disconnected. That could be a base idle adjustment or the throttle body plate is filthy with carbon.

Yes, you need to track down the vacuum leak. Once you find that and repair it, re check the idle.

Could there be a vacuum leak at the upper intake itself? The vacuum leak sounds like it's right at or just past the IAC. I can hear a lot of air moving at the leak. Are there any vacuum lines behind the IAC? I know there are some wires but it is so tight back there it is hard to distinguish what they are? I appreciate your help and will continue to look.
