Got a problem
Here is what went down.
Started to disasemble manifold
Decided that I would not mess with it so close to the cruise, so I put it back together. I have not actually unbolted anything on the manifold except the coolant resiviour, and had replaced a few vacuum hoses with silicone replacements ( the inside diameters were different, to troubleshoot I replaced with stock ones and no change )
Very Rough Idle
High AFR's (19's)
Check Engine Light ( I'm bummed I don't have my AP anymore =/ )
Any ideas? I realize all of these symptoms point to a vacuum leak somewhere, but its the check engine light that worries me. I'm going to pressure test tomorrow morning and will update the thread then.

Um.. leak test.
I would say its un-drivable.
Oh, I forgot to mention it started up a few times before this without the check engine light and lean (18-20 AFR) idle. Then, the symptoms were HIGH idle. I had a pre-existing lean condition at idle ( 15-16afr ) that persisted through the first few start ups as normal.

Okay, here is what I have come up with.
Now that I had the benefit of it not being pitch black outside... This little guy is not connected. There is nothing close to it that needs to be connected, so I put it to you.
1st

ZOOOOMM!

Obviously a vacuum line somewhere, and one that I suspect is related to my FPR. Again, runs okay for a little, high idle but no wierd noises or anything this lasts about 2 minutes. Then, BAM, AFR's off the charts and of course starts to limp and stumble.
Where does that line go!
