Really sounds like a bad vacuum leak. Have you tried using a piece of tubing to your ear or an unlit propane torch? The propane will cause the engine to really idle up for a second or two. You can even spray starting fluid or throttle body cleaner around the intake area. A leaky PCV suction line can cause this. Just some added thoughts.
