If you weren't looking for a vacuum leak.
Why would you be squirting soapy water on the engine?
What did you expect to happen?

someone mentioned inlet manifold leak and said to use soapy water in a squirt bottle im hoping its an leaking injector.at least i can tell the mech what i did when he comes to pick the car up once before ive degreased the engine and hosed it off with no problems

Why would you be hoping it is a leaking injector when everything points to a broken inlet manifold gasket?

An inlet manifold gasket is a lot cheaper and easier to fix being a $25 job and takes about an hour to replace if you don't know what you are doing.
