Hi all!!
don't let my username fool you, i am currently running a 2006 VZ that i recently picked up FAIRLY CHEAP, i knew i'd have to fix up a few things but i am new to dealing with vacuum leaks and engine stuff.
from the research i've done and talking with people i believe i am dealing with a vacuum leak.i certainly have found a bunch of hoses that WERE leaking and i have patched those up by eye, and i even built myself a smoke machine! which was cool and helped me spot a couple more leaks and she's definitely sounding better than when i got her.
however my ongoing issue is on start up. i recorded this video of what happens at least from the cockpit
and then after that she seems to start fine for a few hours and then goes back to starting on the second or third try.
i don't think its the starter, its definitely not the battery but i got the guys down at supercheap auto to plug in a tester and the following issues came up

i'm mainly worried about the ABS and valve relay errors, i absolutely plan on fixing all of these issues i just want to get the engine and start up going properly. the last owners fucked around with the dash and electronics, its got a fully sick subwoofer and used to have a radio (like HAM radio?)
i'd like to know what you think and would like to ask about the haynes manuals and if there are parts than will show me where the vacuum flows through and where i should be looking.
my next move is going to be to take off the intake manifold and have a peak, i have a feeling there might be something going on in there.
