Spray carb cleaner around the intake, sounds like you have an intake or vacuum leak.

Don't they make a dye for that? Or is that for cracks?

it will not show the leak but it will suck in the carb cleaner and cause the engine to rev up.that way you can find the general area of the leak.

The dye is for pressure or non vacuum leaks, if it was a vacuum leak the dye would be sucked in and there would be no evidence of the dye.
