I was thinking MAF because this am when I started it up cold the idle seemed pretty stable -- though conversely it did seem like it was quite a bit longer than 15 seconds of stability. By the time I pulled up to the first red light I reached she was hunting again.

Will check the vac lines. Replaced the spring clamp with a screw-clamp on the bellows. Will check that but I was pretty careful putting it on (just because it was a pita to reach and make sure it was secure). Ditto the other vac lines. Will try the carb cleaner idea, i like that idea a lot. (Maybe i'll be able to get my nose able to distinguish between burning fuel / oil?).

Thanks.
