It definitely sounds like a leak of some sort. A malfunctioning EGR valve can cause symptoms like this as well. I would continue to go through the vacuum lines and see if you find a leak. You can also use an unlit propane torch to help find vacuum leaks by tracing out the lines with the engine running. If the engine changes pitch, you have found a leak.
