This may be a bit long. I recently changed a coolant hose that required I take my intake off. While I had it off I cleaned out the nostrils and throttle body and intake to get rid of a 332, 172 and 173 code. Got it all back together and it ran horrible! Turns out I had a vacuum leak caused by the intake gasket (original one) so I took it apart again cleaned the gasket and put back together. Ran better but was throwing a 335 code so I replaced the DPFE sensor and checked the lines for the EGR which were ok. All back together but it's still not running right. It's almost like it still has a vacuum leak and I'm still getting the 335 code??!! I replaced the TPS and 02's at 97k miles (it has 115k now) and the IAB has never caused a problem. I've already tried to re-set the idle and had no luck. Sometimes it idles so low the oil light comes on. Any advice would be appreciated. the intake gasket was not perfect, but it's a piece of metal! Could that be the problem? Thanks all

check your throttle body gasket, too. Make sure it's in good shape and in the same position it was when you pulled the TB.
