It doesnt have to be on your intake... It can be a few places.

$50.

Any work performed on top will be discussed before hand (it may not be a vacuum leak) you may just need to re-learn your base idle.

aggreed... there should be a slotted head screw right above where your intake piping comes out of the throttle body... screw it in to lower idle

don't mess with the idle screw.

Even on a car that idles properly you wouldn't be able to get the idle up to 2000rpms by adjusting the idle screw, so thats not gunna be ur problem.

Chances are that you have a vacuum leak somewhere.
