car wont stay idled

I had a friend check for vaccum leaks... came up null? Where on the manifold or how can i check myself?

Most people check for vacuum leaks by having a diagnostic tool hooked up to see what the fuel trims look like, and then they "richen" the air around the intake manifold or wherever they suspect a vacuum leak. This is done by introducing a fuel like propane gas in the area. Some people use carb cleaner or similar. You could have a throttle body issue (very dirty) or an idle air control valve issue too.
