How did the gasket change go, and can you tell any difference since having it done? I changed mine, didn't notice anything different afterward. Well, after getting all the hoses reconnected properly I didn't notice anything. Definitely noticed a difference when I left one hose unconnected :(

I would also like to know if changing the intake manifold gasket produced any result. I know there is a Technical Service Bulletin on idle-hunting in cold weather but I thought that maybe changing the intake manifold gasket might be the real culprit. Has your vibe experienced this idle-hunting phenomenon before and/or after changing the intake manifold gasket?
