That's a huge list of repairs!!

The ECU needs to learn for a while to get the settings right, so be patient as you search for vacuum leaks. It may settle down but with all that work on the heads, you may have a new idle.

You can make a smoke machine quite easily to test for vac leaks.

Thanks for your post. I'm interested in the smoke machine. can you describe how to make it? I'm sure many of us would be interested in having access to a smoke machine.

Well, I spoke too soon about being cel free. Shortly after starting this thread, my light came on. P1123, p1125, and p0506. The good news is that the light was off long enough that I was able to pass my emissions enabling me to get my plates.
