High idle and bogging



    Hey all. I have a new problem. I have recently developed a high idle after about 30secs of idling or driving. I come to an idle and it will idle at 1100 to 1150. I normally have mine at 950. Which it was at a few days ago. Also, when driving if I get about 2/3 of my pedal down whether accelerating or crusing.....it will bog and sputter and even buck if the rpms are too low. This all started VERY recently. If I bypass that "sputter zone" and slowly accelerate or punch it to the floor......no problem...........when I hit that zone......forget it. I played with the 3mm on the air box..........it was smelling awfully rich when it bogged. I tried that just today, after discovering it made no difference in the performance...I put it back. NOW..........when I disconnect the O2, it will run fine once again......with a miss (which has been there for a while and have yet to track THAT down) and idle smooth. I have not had the chance to test it yet again, but I know from the past it will drive and run fine. Any ideas on what may be screwed with my precious yet rather dented Rocco???    WTF
