the car has had a stumbling idle and occasionally hesitated under acceleration. I figured it was due to a vacuum leak due to a bad valve cover gasket(it was leaking bad enough to where I figured air was getting in), so i replaced that. that didnt due the trick
then the next day, things got worse. the idle went from a stumble, to a gallop. under acceleration the car would have no power, and the exhaust would burble loudly. the car would buck repeatedly as well.
my next thought was intake leak, so i sprayed suspect areas with carb cleaner with the engine running. didnt notice any change in idle or sounds. so i took off the idle valve, intake boot, AFM, and cleaned everything up. Nothing leaking there
the car is back to how it first was with the stumbling idle. in addition to this the car was always had a lambda code CEL.
any ideas on what might be wronng?
