    How did they determine you have a vacuum leak unless they found a bad hose? What is the car doing? Any check engine light?

I am assuming they scanned the codes and pulled the code associated with the check engine light? And this is what told them you had a vacuum leak? Is the vacuum leak associated with any type of system like your ac isnt working properly or something or the car is running poorly? You can inspect most of your vacuum hoses without a diagram and you can use a mighty vac to test them to make sure they are good. Just visually inspect them and look for cracked and damaged hoses and replace them.

My 1997 mitsubishi eclipse rs has a vaccumm leak and trying to find the part and how to fix it

Start engine, and spray carb cleaner around the area you suspect the leak is, when you hit the spot the engine will speed up and identify the leak location. Good luck.

Free wiring diagrams

This is because there is no voltage on pin 16 in the DLC and so the scan tool cannot be powered ON. Most of the scanners have 12 VDC input port by which the scanner can be powered and the car can be scanned.

Reving problems

The high rev sounds like a vaccumm problem. What year is the vehicle? If its
newer than 1995 it more than likely has a lot of vaccumm operated parts. I would check for leaks and get that out of the way.

Air flow changes by itself from panel to defrost to floor vent. my vehicle is a 2006 merc. grand marquis

the vaccumm motors that actuate the mode doors are vaccumm driven.
if at idle all is ok then under accelleration mode doors change then there is a vaccumm leak in the system. look for a steel can (coffee Can) under the hood. trace the vacumm lines from there.

Pick up the service book at a parts store such as Pep Boys for your car. The book cost about $20 and the diagram is in there.
