^^ You crack me up.

A vacuum line has a vacuum in it, so it will suck in the soapy solution and any bubbles will be inside the line. You might notice a change in idle as the solution covers the hole and improves the vacuum signal, though.

I am not at all ruling out cracked lines, just the soapy water method of locating said cracks.

I had the exact same problem. It's kinda dangerous in stop and go traffic when the car wants to lunge forward. Go to the dealer and have them update the ecu software, did that along with throttle body cleaning and it's never come back three years later.

Honestly I took it to the dealer and they Inspected it and told me it was the transmission, and that it would cost 8000 BUCKS to replace it. The weird thing was I’ve been using conventional oil for my G then when I switched to full synthetic it would not happen for a month literally.

^^ Good idea. That's how dealers locate leaks in evap system lines.

You aint gonna see bubbles, it'll suck the soap solution in if you have a vacuum leak.
