air leaks 200

This applies to and may refernce a post I made on Saturday afternoon but I thought a new audience would give me insite into the reasons behind the potential fixes.

Background...
The car stopped starting. It crank, sometimes start for a second or two and then die, it can't hold an idle. I tried cleaning the throttle body and that didn't work, evryone pointed towards vacuum leak.

Here comes the question...some of the hoses that have been suggested as culprits of my problems I don't understand how they would affect my starting. One was the vacuum hose that goes from the AMM to the TB. There isn't a vacuum hose that goes from the AMM to anywhere. Should there be? Another suggestion was that the plastic intake tube from the TB to the AMM might be cracked. Why would this affect starting? I me still be in carborater mode from my highschool days with a 63 chevy nova with a 350 small block in it but shouldn't the car run with an open TB? Iguess I understand the vacuum system better on that chevy then I do I the volvo. any help would be appreiated.
