Ask Smithy Xtra stalling Statesman

My 1999 dual-fuel Holden Statesman V8 constantly stalls when I run the fan or air conditioning. I understand that this is a vacuum problem, but three experienced mechanics have been unable to find the fault. What do you reckon?

If you believe it is a vacuum leak, check all vacuum connections and hoses. It could be a split fitting or a cracked hose and might be difficult to find.
