Whats your vac/boost reading at Idle?
Did you do anything to your car for it to act this way?
To me, it still sounds like a leak.

I live in Monroe, so Ive helped twotonethunder get his car up and running again, but Ive been pretty busy.
Not to sure when Ill be available to help you out.
Maybe Monday morning, or something, if I dont get called to work. I might be able to help. But Im not sure if ill be able to do anything that you have not already done.
Maybe try pulling the codes, even if you dont have a check light right now, it could have stored something in the memory that will lead you to the solution.
Worth giving it a shot....
