98 s70 100k+. Replaced the MAF twice, Front O2 sensor now the only one left is PO172. Sprayed ether gently around vacum lines, no increase in rpm's. Where do I go from here.

As jblackburn suggested, I replaced the elbow coming off the vacuum mod. Replaced the 2" intake to exhaust tube. Whats next?

Is that same elbow connected at the other end? Any leaks coming off the bottom of lines connected to the intake manifold? Fuel pressure regulator?

Is this a turbo motor or non-turbo? If it's a non-turbo, the FPR is near the fuel tank on the right side of the car.

A learning experience is one of those things that says, "You know that thing you just did? Don't do that."

If you're not hell bent on doing it the hard way go to an idy garage with a smoke machine. You'll have your answer in 15 mins.
