NOT Solved: Vacuum Leak When Accelerating?
Hey guys I started my car up today and it was idling fine, and I wanted to rev it up, but as soon as it gets to 2000 rpm it starts reving up and down. Im pretty sure its a vacuum leak. Why would it only leak when I accelerate? and would gas/starting fluid work to find it?

could be air is moving slow enough at idle that it bypasses the torn hose without escaping.

I usually use carb cleaner. Pretty much whatever is on hand. *Wouldn't recommend gas.
Take off the air filter housing and check the throttlebody gasket real good with the carb cleaner. Remember small, controlled squirts.

Solved! Tightened down all hoses and clamps and no bouncing revs.
EDIT: NOT SOLVED
I think it could possibly be from knife-edging my throttle plate. any suggestions?
