found the vacuum leak. it was the hose connected to the map sensor. the part you could see looked perfect. you flip it over and theres a big hole in it. now another problem is it wont pass emissions

What's preventing it from passing? Glad you found the vacuum leak.

Seafoam though the Brake power booster Vac hose to decontaminate the combustion chambers (read the directions). Lucas injector cleaner in the gas and change your oil after the Seafoam, prior to test. Tune up & new air filter. A new o2 sensor might help, depending on how old yours is. Or at least take it out and douche it w/ MAP cleaner!
