That didn't solve his problem...

Sounds like a vacuum leak. I've heard of guys using a thin layer of honda-bond on the entire intake gasket and TB gasket. Before you do that, pinpoint the source of the problem. Try spraying carb cleaner around the suspect area when the engine is idling to see if the rpms change. Hope that helps a little...

Get a spray bottle fill it with water and start searching for air leaks
