Skoda Fabia Idling and Acceleration Problems

Hello, I have a 2001 Skoda Fabia. It's a petrol, 1.4 liter engine, 16 valve, and 101 hp. The car has 271,000 km on it. The engine was previously rebuilt and many problems were fixed. However, I'm now experiencing idle fluctuations and shaking, and after a while, the car stalls. When I restart it, it's fine. While driving, the car shakes violently regardless of the gear. When I accelerate, it speeds up suddenly, and when I let off the gas, it slows down roughly. It stalls when slowing down at speed bumps or traffic lights. A mechanic said the manifold needs replacing, but I'm not sure. Can you help me with this?

Start by checking for any vacuum leaks, as these can cause idle fluctuations and stalling. Inspect all vacuum hoses and connections for cracks or disconnections. If you find any issues, replace or repair them and see if the problem persists. Let me know how it goes or if you have any further questions.
