    Vacuum leaks are def your issue. CHeck your intake boot first and also check your valve cover vent tube.

        My first suspicions would be intake leaks and an aged O2 sensor (service life is 100k). A smoke test is the only way of checking all possible leak locations.
        The car makes it possible, but the driver makes it happen.
