Hey guys, so after replacing all my fuel lines and vacuum lines everything was going great until the fuel tank settled down a bit and pinched the return line somehow causing excessive fuel pressure and popping a line off. Been a while since that but finally got new lines (again) under the tank (I even went stainless braided to help avoid kinks and such) but now I have a major bog as soon as I come off idle. Idle does wander a bit between 1000 and 1500 so I'm thinking vacuum leak but I didn't have any problems previously until finally starting the motor again after re-redoing the front fuel lines.

All vacuum lines are connected, aka no loose vacuum hoses anywhere. Fuel is right at 28 or 29PSI.

This is all on a 2l D-Jet system.

Just an update on this, got the stacked elbow in and got it installed and it solved the previous issue. Thinking I just need to do a general tune-up though as I'm still having a couple small running issues. Won't stay running at idle unless I play with the throttle, I'll start with valves and timing, see if I can find any other leaks in the vacuum system that may be playing with me.
I did inspect the TPS and it looked pretty good still.

Not super impressed with the quality of it so maybe if 914 rubber wanted to make one I'd be down to buy one. Didn't see it on the website when I was looking for it.

I need more hours in a weekend so I can have time to still mess with the 914 after everything else, but hey at least it's not up on jack stands! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lol3.gif)
