Check the idle bolt, sounds like it's not letting the throttle down.

Not my picture but it should be right under where the arrow is pointing..
I believe the tool is an allen wrench.

^To test this, pull off intake, turn car on and cup the TB hole with your hand.

If it dies, no vac leak, if it DOESN'T DIE, it's being sustained by a vacuum leak.

Have you checked whether the throttle plate is stuck open?
