Leaks develop in TPI's everywhere from the IAC at the throttle body, to the intake manifold/cylinder head junction. You might be able to find the leak with a can of startin fluid, sprayin' around where parts meet up, like the throttle body/ intake plenum, intake manifold/intake runners. The recommended way is with a propane can, UNlit, as described in the article:

You gotta raise the RPM's before the test, to get a steady RPM. THEN, you will find the leak. Read the whole article too.
ibelew is re-doin' his intake now... I'd like to know what he's got workin' now...
