this is the crazy part when i put my hand over the throttle body the car DOES NOT choke out. it barely even drops rpms....but there is no air being sucked in from anywhere! i checked every hose.

Your throttle body gasket is likely leaking. You need a new gasket and the bolts must be properly torqued.

you really shouldn't have sprayed it inside the TB...you're supposed to lightly spray the tb there it mates to the IM and teh vac lines and see if the idle changes.
