I have a feeling it is a vacuum leak but i dont know which course of action i should take. none of the vacuum hoses in my engine have hose clamps?

The silicone hose kit is an ebay item
I think I'm going to use my car as a guinea pig and see what happens.
The thing is the kits like 95 bucks?! are silicone hoses really that expensive to produce

i tried doing the stomp test but no luck the check engine light does not blink it just stays on. does anyone have a complete list of all the items i would need to do the vacuum lines mod and remove any unnecessary lines?

I think i might as well "clean the mess under the intake" while im down there just to cut the amount of possible leaks i could have in the future. im almost positive it is a vacuum leak because little by little this hissing in the engine on the driver side is getting louder and while its making noise my acceleration greatly suffers.:mad:

Hey guys this is my first post on this site. i just got myself a 91 318is the other day and i ran into the first problem yesterday after very polite driver ran a red causing me to stop abruptly and rev the the car in neutral all the way to about 6500 rpms. the problem is after this incident the car idles around 2k with no hope of coming back down. ive already cleaned the crap out of the icv which helped for a second then went back to high idle? what do i do? just ordered an o2 sensor will that help?:eek::eek:
