Were you able to follow through with Opie's suggestion to spray some brake cleaner around to look for any vacuum leaks? I've done this to check areas I can't reach well. If the engine starts racing, fumes are getting in and you know there's a leak.

Sounds normal to me.
Yup, applying throttle or it just dies like always.

I haven't done break cleaner vacuum leak search yet. Mainly because i wasn't really sure how to go about doing it.

Just so i get this right:
Spray brake cleaner on the areas that vacuum/air could escape, especially places that are hard to get to.
fire her up and if engine's rpm starts going crazy then the leak is in that area,

I'll try tomorrow since it seems like a somewhat fast check.
