Vacuum Leak?

So my car has been stalling out once or more times when it has been sitting a while, I originally thought this was a cold start issue with the chain tentioner but that seems to just be a rattle, not stalling out. It throws a P0000 code to my SG2.
I'm thinking vacuum leak, but before I start going over everything what are some common places that you wouldnt normally look?

That doesn't seem like a valid OBDII code. Your scan gauge might be misreading it. Why not take it to the dealer and get it fixed for free if you're under warranty? If you've already made up your mind that you want to look for vacuum leaks on your own, start off with easy stuff like the PCV hose and brake booster line connections.

Dealer is booked til early July, so I wanna take a stab at it while I wait. Checked everything normal and tightened down everything on the hoses.
P0000 is a valid code normally for cold start problems as far as I know. There is another code being thrown but I can't read it.

P0000 is a valid code.

P0000: No Self Diagnostic Failure Indicated.

It should clear itself after a few days.

Did you disconnect the battery for some reason. That is the most prevalent reason for this code as far as I know. It more or less means that the diagnostics did a check and found no errors. This is done each time the car computers get restarted after a battery disconnection.

Maybe my problem is electrical then? Could be the famed 3rd coil maybe?
