Please Help Inconsistant starting 2.5L

All the symptoms the car have now are the same before I changed anything. I've been checking the vacuum lines, they all seem ok, but some are getting some cracks in them. I found a diaghram on the raditor with some vacuum lines. Should I worry about any of the small hard plastic vacuum lines?

I took the map sensor to autozone and they said it was working properly, so i dunno....

This dang car is really pissing me off...

Whats the best method for testing the wiring?

Even small vacum leaks can make problems.
Some are the tiny hard plastic ones up around the engine, they are more important usually.

The lines next to the radiator, if connected to a round black canister, that would be part of the evaporative emissions system. This burns gasoline vapors, much like the EGR reburns exhaust gases.

To test wiring is not easy to do.
You would need a good manual with the wire diagrams w/colors charted, and a good multimeter.

And I would say start with the ignition system,
like the ignition module the coils.

I never trust the guys at autozone stores.
Most dont know a crows foot from a crescent wrench

Update:

Finally had an inline spark tester( ya know one of those lights that goes between the plug and the wire) to check for spark. It had no spark when I checked it. Took the tester out and then the car fired right up.

Could it/most likely be the distributor/coil? Hopefully I can tear it apart this weekend
