Yeah, that 80 bucks could be better spent on English lessons. You can use a can of carb cleaner to track down a vacuum leak. Just spray along the vacuum hoses and around the intake manifold, the engine RPM should change once you find the leak with the carb cleaner. A lot of repair shops use a smoke tester to find vacuum leaks. It pumps smoke into the intake manifold and it will leak out everywhere a vacuum leak is. I would start by just looking at all of the hoses, looking for cracks or broken hard plastic line, missing hoses, ect.
