    Try pulling off the flame trap vacuum hose again and just blocking it. Does the idle change? If not, the trouble is not there.

    I agree you're looking for a vacuum leak. Sounds like a big one. Did you have the intake manifold off the car for this work? Did you install a new gasket?

    How about the hose to the brake booster? That can be a major source of vacuum leaks if it's split or not seated.

    Good luck with it!

    I too cleaned the side oil breather box on my 760, but eventually just bought a new one. I apparently was not getting the old one as clean as it needed to be, as crankcase ventilation has greatly improved with the new box.

    That said, I would clean the throttle body and make sure on vac hoses. Also your idle control valve can need cleaning - replacing.

    Most every thing I read here on the board says that problems like yours are rarely electrical component related - and almost always a cleaning issue along with making sure vacumn lines are right.
