after checking vacuum lines, i'd ask myself how recently i changed the fuel filter...perhaps there is a clogging that allows enough fuel to get through to allow for idle, but prevents as much fuel getting through as you are calling for at a higher rev...a yucky fuel filter had been a culprit with some bogging with me...

The general consensus of the list was vacuum leaks, I have replaced every thing that looks like a vacuum line with no change. I am really pulling my hair out here so where do I go next, besides to the shop!! Ed
