Anywhere and everywhere
Get a vacuum tester Its a little pump
They also have the things that blow smoke into the system and just look for it to come out

This is really a pity post I just hate to see 0 responses

PS one reason no responses is because no one knows what it is

It's a 94 Ford Taurus.

A vac guage and pump as suggested will be a great tool.
Also spraying starting fluid or using unlit propane on the lines while the engine is at idle. If either is introduced into the lines the idle will increase some.

A mechanic's stethoscope helped me with my '85. I found a big vac leak at the cold start injector with that. I got it from harbor freight for about 5 bucks.
