make sure your AFM is plugged back in and you have no vacuum leaks.

AFM is in. What needs to be hooked up other than the idle vaccum thing (the large one underneath the TB)? Does the O2 sensor need to be hooked up?

Right now the cam breather is going to atmosphere.

Make sure you dont get duct tape sucked in. Did that solve the idle problem?

Technically the car should still run with the o2 sensor not hooked up, BUT funny you should mention this b/c my car recently would start up and run for a bit then stall as if I had a vac leak. I made sure that there were no leaks and finally tracked down the problem to a faulty o2 sensor. The readout was fixed at a voltage corresponding to an AFR of about 10. So when the stock ecu started up and saw rich, it kept pulling fuel until the car stalled. Just a thought....hey, I got the oil pressure problem right....

Unrelated, I didn't see pics of the hood. Did you have to make cutouts for the over the rad piping?
