Just got through changing the head gasket on my 1995 b230ft 945 turbo. Did a bunch of "while you are at it's" including; cleaning engine compartment, changing rubber hoses, cleaning intake manifold and throttle body and just about everything else I could think of.

Now when I start it, it purrs like a kitten until you give it some gas. Then it starts to miss (listening back at the tailpipe) and the idle seem to "hunt". It jumps about +/- 200rpm. Doesn't seem to matter if it is a cold or warm start. AC, etc. seems to have no effect.

I gone through the laundry list. TPS, idle stop screw, intake leaks, wiring issues, etc. The car does well on the road. No miss or problems while driving. Gas mileage seems good. It just will not return to a smooth idle.

Your thoughts are appreciated.
