Default any tips for finding a vacuum leak???

i'm throwing a cell 14 for the iacv after installing my jrsc. it idles like **** and then eventually stalls. i did the trouble shooting from the helms for the wire connections and the iacv and they where fine. so does anybody have any tips for finding a vaccum leak. i heard you could use propane gas to find it?

mix up some real thick soapy suds (dishwashing liquid) and spread them around the areas you think may have the leak while the car is idling (if your car can still idle)......you will see them get sucked into the area with the leak.
