also spray carb cleaner around entire intake to head gasket mating area while engine is running as to check for bad intake gasket. if rpm changes while engine is running you have a bad intake gasket which will introduce the symptoms you are describing. also check fuel pressures at idle and higher rpm, bad fuel regulator or pump.
