Check the alignment on the rubber collars connecting your plenum (throttle body) to the intake manifolds. I bet you have an air leak.

I second that. I've had mine off a few times and diligence is necessary when reinstalling them. Good call, Jag.

Also check the seal on the plastic snorkel (inlet) on the throttle body. That is a PITA to put back on properly.
