    you search for hissing sounds, then gently wiggle every single vacuum hose checking for changes in noises.

    When did this start and was there any work done on the car prior to it doing this?

    if there is no vac leak, readjust the throttle position. it has a small jam nut on it, loosen it and turn it down a bit.

    1st thing is to check the coolant level. If it's a B series and the coolant level is low it will idle high. DO not assume it's a vacuum eleak right away. If you have coolant, then make sure that the cap is good - any amount of extra air in the system will confuse the sensors and ECU.
