Aha!
Well it appears to be the intake manifold. I thought maybe i needed a new gasket, because I had tightened the bolts and it still seemed to be leaking vacuum there. Tonight I figured I'd spray some PB on the bolts, take the manifold off to get it ready for a new gasket. So I sprayed PB, and then decided to try and tighten them first, each nut tightened almost a full turn. I let it warm up ~10 minutes, and it went into gear good(still isn't PERFECT but I need to readjust everything now that the leak is gone). I think that was the problem. It was getting a little late tonight. Tomorrow I'm bringing home an '87 BMW 325e, so I hope that fixed it!
