Ok so when i turn on the car the idleling is good but once i start driving and stop for a red light or stop in general it turns off. what can be wrong? I think it might be a vacumm leak. If it is how can i look for it. also any other suggestions would be apprreciated and thank you in advance

Maybe but that is one of those questions with out being there its hard to tell. I would look listen first double check everything.

if its a vacuum leak, one of the ways ive heard to check is to fill up a spray bottle with water and hand soap, spritz some of the vacuum stuff and look for bubbles.

vac pulls in so that means you would be pulling in , not pushing out. No bubbles
