Over the past few days I've noticed the idle RPM's creeping down from 1000 RPM to about 600 RPM. Today when I was coming up to a light it finally died. If I let it sit for about 5 minutes it fires back up again, it runs pretty rough but is drivable if I keep my foot on the gas. As soon as I take my foot off the gas it dies again and then I'm back to square one. Has anyone had this problem? If so, how do you fix it?

Thanks & GO OILERS GO!!!

You are in the world of troubles.... Give more info. What you said in the above doesnt give a clue

Without saying anything else, it's gotta be vacuum. I figure it could be oil dipstick not sealing, that will stall a car. Just check hoses and if that doesn't work, then you got bigger issues. But that's what it sounds like.

Thanks guys! It is a vaccum leak! A huge one, once I started wiggling hoses around, the one that goes from the valve cover to the intake fell off. It split at the bottom of the hose and looked like it was still on the T fitting. #9 for reference sake.
