Here is a partial list of things I have been told to help off Idle Bog in
no particular order

   1. Vacuum leak - I ended up redoing my entire system including cleaning
   TB, Plenum, Runners, S-Boot, Filter. (This did the most in correcting the
   issue)
   2. Injectors - look for good round spray pattern (haven't done this yet)
   3. Check the Throttle Cable is just on verge of tight or tension (this
   did quite a bit for me as well)
   4. All engine grounds re-soldered large grounds redone like transaxle,
   battery and large motor ground (this seemed to help idle, bog not too much)
   5. Upgraded alternator harness (smoothed idle out a bit more)
   6. Big one early in ownership of my van was to get the rear connections
   on my AFM rebuilt by a naval electro-engineer...made a big change in how it
   ran including off idle bog

Just some ideas to get started...Hope this helps!
