Guys!! WOOHOOOO

After two weeks I found the issue! I bought some carb cleaner and sprayed the crap outta everything....nothing changed, just a strnge 'floating' idle.

I figured, what the hell, ill spray my EGR stuff too, well sure enough I sprayed where the EGR mates on top of the intake manifold....car stuttered!

I shut the car down, and notice that the bolt on the top is hand tightened...on top of that! the gasket was lying next to it, NOT INSTALLED. Keep in mind I had a great local mechanic who I would trust with anything do the install, he just forgot the gasket, oh well, shit happens and I cant be mad at him. I install gasket, crank down the EGR and start the car....humms like it used to, PRE long tubes...just beautiful. Sprayed with carb cleaner...nothing happened!

Thanks for the suggestions, i feel like I wasted 130 bucks on a MAF, but oh well at least she is running right. Wooho!!!

In the future, be very careful on where you go spraying carb cleaner on these cars, most of the sensors don't like it.

Good to know, only sensors it may have got near would be the ones on the TB and the vac lines. Thanks for the heads up.
