    Default vacuum leak cause hard start?

    Hi there, i have a vr v6 and have error code vacuum leak. Is this in any way related to it being hard to start, will kick over and then seems to be flooded or somethin for the first couple of seconds. i give it a few revs and is fine. Also when driving around and stopping at light etc it will idle with low revs. I have checked as many vacuum lines as i can see but can find the leak...

    Remove the engine cover and carefully check all vacuum lines especially around the throttle body....they usually split where they connect. What was the actual code number?

    it is error 36 , i have checked all round the engine, and the ball thing under the guard, is there some lines in the dash? and would that be the cause of the low/rough idle and starting, thanks
