Question Most Frequent Places For Vacuum Leaks!

hey guys !
it seems to me that i have a vacuum leak. no one can figure out as to where it is coming from though.( idle is high around 2-3k and fluctuates! ) maybe a tps gone bad? some hose that i cannot find is off ? well i still have a great oil pressure not high and not low if that means n e thing so can n e one shed some light as to where i should look for my leak or possibly just the problem?
thanks guys
jack

A possible stuck bac will give a high idle. Disconnect it the next time you have the high idle with the engine full warm, and see what happens.

to find a vac leak there is two essiential tools, long piece of garden hose to listen for air blowing out. dont lauph it works, and also a can of starting fluid, just spray around possible leaking areas, and if the motor revs up theres a leak.
