Take a can of starting fluid,.. When the motor is cold,.. Right away after you start it,..
Spray around the intake manifold. Not IN the throddle - body but, around the manifold
area and see if your idle goes up. If it does,.. There ya go,.. Vacume leak. Just do it quickly. You would be surprised how fast the exhaust manifolds get hot. Don't need to
be making fires under there.

pull the throttle body and check the gasket, and the iac and its gasket. if not, then
check the torque on the intake manifold bolts, check all vaccum lines running into manifold (there is a schematic on the hood). if there is a suspected crack in the manifold, take a mirror and look behind it. Or better yet, pull it, inspect it, and replace the plenum gasket while its off.
