Probably the tbi gasket....spray a little b-12 around the base while she runs...BE CAREFUL THOUGH...The stuff is flammable as hell!

I believe he is thinking if you just spray something around the gasket area to see if the engine speed changes - any carb cleaner should work .

Yes,carb-spray..B-12 is most popular..but most any brand..again,CAUTION..that stuff is close to pure ether.. the idle should change and you'll hear a sucking sound if the gasket is blown.
Fairly common on Tbi trucks
