since it got cool..I'm starting to get bucking at low rpm's and hard starts when it cold, I ran a code scan and got 41 and 91, I 've changed the IAB, ECT,ACT O2's, spark plugs, cap rotor, TPS, EGR sensor, cleaned the EGR and EGR spacer, checked tiiming, clean the MAF, still the bucking is there and the codes , even the brakes are a slight hard, but it runs fine when warm...what is I'm missing?

Your car looks like it came straight from Mexico.

Vacuum leak?

That is one thing that I did not see you post about. Get a can of carb cleaner or something like that, and spray around the engine bay. If the engine revs up a lil bit where you are spraying, you have found your leak.

Do you have a vacuum tester or vacuum gauge?

I don't have a vacuum tester, but I'll try the spray...

Just spray around the intake, vac lines, charcoal canister, vac tree. When you start the car can you hear a loud suction? Like a whistle.

I'd clean the MAF since the airfilter made a difference.
