your car ran fine before install, so definately not a cylinder issue. watch itll be something small. A tech always resorts back to what was recently done on an install, and 90 % of the time the issue is found there

I know but I just get paranoid when something like this happens, which with this car, hasn't happened. At least it's not broken because of the car lol, it's human error. It also idles fine when you give it gas, and was ok during the cat warm up process.

if it runs fine under load then its most likely going to be a leak since at idle youre drawing vacuum. Itll get straight.

Dropped cylinder is pretty unlikely. A little more time and I'm sure you all would have found the vacuum leak on your own. It's not hard if you have the time. It sure looks really pretty under the hood. I'm sure your baby will be fine in no time.

I was too scared to spray carb cleaner on certain spots to look for leaks.

from what your describing it sounds like a line isn't sealing properly or your intake gasket has a rip in it somewhere. could be a clogged pcv orifice as well.

did you guys double check all the connections. and yes the throttle body's do sound like there is something loose in them.

and no they shouldn't have to reflash the ECM if they replace the throttle body, there is a learn procedure that takes about 10 minutes to perform.

Yea, definitely sounds like a gasket or a very unlikely crack in your manifold. Especially since it starts after the cat warm up cycle is over. That could mean it takes the car to be heated up which would expand the crack or shrink your manifold and cause the intake manifold gasket or any sensors on the manifold to leak worse and make it more noticeable.

Lmao. Chill out Marisa. It's just a vacuum leak. If I wasn't all the way across the country I could diagnose it in about 5 minutes for you :p

now that i think about it, and this would have been easy to do, we should have pulled the map sensors back out, and lubed the o-rings with lithium or at least vaseline and put them back in. I wasn't there when you guys did those, so i can't couch for their install. One could have been twisted, or slid in weird.
