How did you spray the cleaner in?

If you removed the small air bypass hose that goes into the side of the main T/Body hose then it might not be seated correctly and will cause a vacuum leak. If you removed the 2 nuts that secure the hose to the T/body and did not tighten them all them way when you reinstalled that would cause a vacuum leak. Also the Long t/body ducting/hose is a 2 piece unit and sometimes when you move it around they halves will separate if the clamp that connects them was not fully seated.
