Rough running

There's probably about 1000 answes to this, but I'll ask anyway. I have a '93 Camaro 3.4 that is running and idling very rough. Sometimes it will smooth out for a few seconds, but then it will start running rough again. Big loss of power, and gas milage. Replaced the MAP, and O2 sensor, plugs, wires, EGR, and cat converter. It acts like a vacuum leak, but I can't find one. any ideas? Thanx.

have you tried to reset the idle?

pull the PCM fuses, put them back in, then start the car and pull it into drive immedatly with the AC off, then let it idle for 5 min, turn it off, then let it sit for 10 sec, then start it and let it idle for 5 more min.. see if that helps


also how many miles do you have?
