An AU can idle as smooth as a baby's you know what with a blown inlet manifold gasket.

I've owned a few AUs over time (three of them with now over 300,000ks) and not once have any of them had sensor and/or fuel reg problems. That is not to say that yours could be different.

I have had to change the manifold gasket on each and every AU that I have owned as well as the coil pack. An AU inlet manifold gasket will cost about $25. Even if that is not the problem, it will be good insurance, as it won't be if, it will be when the manifold gasket blows.

Let us know how you go. There are a bunch of us AU tragics on here that are always more than willing to help.
