Hey @WildBill do u think what i described my car doing could be a vacuum leak from that guy pulling my throttle body and then putting it back using the old gasket? Wondering if him reusing the old one maybe it failed and is letting air leak in bogging out the throttle body fuel to air ratio at higher rpms?

I didn't see what you wrote on the problem, but if there is an unmetered air leak then the idle will be high. That idol is where it would be subject to the highest vacuum.


edit
Not knowing exactly what kind of car it is and what kind of system it is, another source the problems could be two other things, bad IAC valve(Idle air control) Or a stuck PCV valve (positive crankcase ventilation)

But since it was a used gasket I would say the likelihood it is the old throttle body gasket that is leaking

Pump has suction cups should be able to attach to side of res and raise. I also use a paint stirrer with Drillmotor to mix at every ph check and the MC still does not fully disolve. Good idea thank you @JP1

I also use a drill and paint stirrer. Always had brown gunk at the bottom. Asked megacrop about it and they told me it was "organics". Which is fine but still gunked stuff up. Somehow everybody here but you and me can get it to fully dissolve I tried everything from grinding it finer to using hot water and a blender. Only ever tried the 1 part. Haven't used it in years though so don't know about the newer versions Pulling the pump off the floor or adding an inline filter after the pump should help

Sounds like the air idle intake valve is malfunctioning.

Thanks man i was trying as i could to remember the 3rd potential cause it listed when i cleaned the throttle body and that was it! Although it ran rough as shit stayed running when i disconnected the mass air flow sensor so didn’t know if it needed it but was gonna clean it! It was MAF/ throttle position sensor/ or intake idle control valve could be malfunctioning! Don’t really have the money to just buy all 3 and hope for the best!
