Have either one of you taken out the IAC motor and cleaned it up? It could have carbon buildup.

You gotta take the TB off to get to it and then clean it.

How abourt a spray bottle with a mixture of soap and water...works for me.
how do you expect to find a VACCUM leak with soapy water?

you find a pressure leak (such as a tire) with the bubbles,
