The first thing we did was to clean the throttle-body and replace plugs, wires, cap, rotor. I did suspect a vacuum leak... and the big accordion hose between AMM and TB was worn FULL of holes on back side and this has been replaced with a sound item from junkyard. I have checked all other hoses and could not find more leaks.

I did the "carb spray at the injector seals" while idleing and did not notice any change. I have a set of injector seals from IPD and these are probably worth putting in as "one more thing" to try.

We have put quite a few tanks of gas through her by now including one with a bottle of Techon. The problem is also the same at full and below half-tank level.

We have had this car about two months and it had this drivability problem when we brought it home. With several of the maintenance/repair items it runs a bit better...but this one severe problem persists.
