ok i rechecked the fuel regulator and no leakage, took apart throttle again and cleaned as far back as i could get my hand egr pipe in the way a little, plus did the sea foam through the booster. think maybe an intake leak? not loosing any fluids and i sprayed everywhere double checking, anyway a ac compressor could be pulling to much even with it off?

Does it idle/run ok without a/c? If not, could be a vacuum leak, with that what has changed?

Replace the intake gasket, very common problem. By process of elimination there is nothing left.

Your Computer may need to be reset at the dealer, i would imagine this would fix the problem. Since you added all the new parts this is not uncommon to have to do.

Talking idling prob fixed

thank you for all the help. It was the intake that was leaking. I guess it is a big problem with the plastic intakes the bolts get loose or the intakes themselves worp. I changed the gasket, problem solved. thanks
