All the time or intermittently? I had a similar issue with the 850 a few weeks ago and I traced most of it back to vacuum problems, missing and cracked/broken hoses. Could you have knocked some vacuum lines off when getting at the starter?

If it's a turbo, check for a loose intercooler hose from the turbo, to the intercooler, and back up to the throttle body. If it's not a turbo, vacuum lines are a common suspect.
