Try pulling off the flame trap vacuum hose again and just blocking it. Does the idle change? If not, the trouble is not there.

I agree you're looking for a vacuum leak. Sounds like a big one. Did you have the intake manifold off the car for this work? Did you install a new gasket?

How about the hose to the brake booster? That can be a major source of vacuum leaks if it's split or not seated.

Good luck with it!
