Default Still no luck with tracking down suspected vacuum leak. Anyone have any suggestions????

I've been trying to track down a suspected vacuum leak and have had no luck. I tried the carb cleaner trick with no noticeable results. I'm running out of patience with this and am open to ideas about what the problem could be. This is on a 2nd gen B16a SIR II in a '95 hatch and the car idles @ 1100 rpms with the idle adjust screw all the way down.
Anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks

Did it start doing it all of a sudden, or did it start doing after you did something to the car?

No I can't tell. The valves on this motor need to be adjusted something fierce and btween that and the STR cam gears I can't hear a damn thing
