Hi:
If you hear a hissing sound, there is a vacuum leak. Make sure all vacuum lines are attached and not damaged. Make sure the throttle body is tight and nothing got pinched under it.

Let me know what you find.

Have you tried using starting fluid to see of the RPM's change when you spray it near the sound? I normally don't like to recommend this because of the fire hazard it creates.
