The car behaves fine for a while, but starts loping and missing at low speed like it has a bad vacuum leak. Seems to only do it after it's warmed up. Any ideas, it's driving me nuts.

Is it normal for it to come and go? Everytime I've had a vacuum leak in the past, it was just there all the time. :shrug:

No, that isn't normal. Vacuum leaks don't come and go. They should always be there. If you suspect a vacuum leak, get a vacuum gauge, and check it out anyway. It might lead you to a leak anyway (I doubt it though).

Have you ran the codes yet? Have you tried cleaning your MAF/IAT sensors? Checked the plugs (color/shape)?

I was thinking about that today. I'm gonna run codes as soon as I can. I took the Mac intake piece off to change the couplings, which didn't work because I stupidly bought couplings that are a tad too small. The thing was such a PITA to put on last time, I've decided to do something different there. May as well inspect that stuff while it's out.
