In less than 15 sec (thanks to my new knowledge found on the forum) I spotted the vacumn leak for the MAP hose at the manifold. Just tightened up the clamp and problem solved. Isn't neat to learn how the FI systems works by the way it breaks. Apparently ambient temperature made the problem finicky, as the temp changed the hose's seal leaked or held. When I was handling the FI system during my wiring connection checks, I sealed the leak temporarily, then the leak continued.
What was interesting in learning about the problem, the symptoms were consistent with those described in the forum for vacumn leak problems described in several postings.
Thanks again for all of your help
