Sup Guero? Have you tried the basic maintenance stuff yet?

Sounds like the MAF might be the issue & needs a cleaning. But you never know. Has it thrown any codes?

Guero, I had the exact sime problem since I did my combo....I added TB/MAF/ 24's but what I want to get at is that I don't think that was "why" it was searching, I set my TPS at .98 today and it hovers great right at 650.....

Did you yank any vacuum lines while installing your Zex kit? Sounds like a classic vacuum leak.
