Default Squeeking noise after intake install

So I put the intake back on after I was done replacing the knock sensors and oil pressure sending unit, and now I have this rapid squeek sound at idle that sounds a LOT like something is on the belt or whatever... but it isnt the belt. It goes away if I raise the idle a litle bit, and comes back on when the throttle body closes again. To give you an idea of the succession, it probably does it 2-3 times a second and the quiet time is equal in length to the noise (in rapid succession just like a squeeky belt). Any ideas on what this could be? I snapped the small HVAC line that runs to the back of the intake, but I repaired it with some tight hose and a lot of tape.

Are you SURE it's not a vacuum leak?

try spraying some WD-40 around the repair. If the idle goes up.. you found the problem.

Cool, I'll be sure to try that one out and let you guys know. The idle is fine though, but the noise should temporarilly stop if that's the problem, right?
