Default Start with injectors

I purchased a set of Bosch IIIs from Jon and after 2 attempts to install them I think I got it right. I did the re-learn and everything seemed good, except the "Engine Service" light would come on after a 2 mile ride.
Today we went on a short trip to a friends house. I attempted to use the Cruise Control and the gas pedal developed a mind of its own.
This tells me there is a vacuum leak, and I caused it.
Has anyone had any luck using a propane torch to pinpoint the leak?

Just don't use brake cleaner or ether on the intake!

Get a long piece of hose (3' or so)...hold one end to your ear and probe the intake with the other end while listening.
