Make sure the bracket that is underside of intake near the TB is not being pinched. If it is, it'll created a nice source to a vacuum leak... If you have not tweaked or cracked the manifold from the torquing unevenness.
And a final shout out to beigg, again you were spot on. I truly appreciate you taking the time to help me out.

Congratulations! Good to hear you got her smoothly running again.T5 Tony wrote:I just got home from a 30 mile drive from my parents' house. Success! I really want to extend my heartfelt thanks to everyone for their advice and wisdom. Sleddriver, you were right on the money concerning the camshaft position sensor's connection. It literally crumbled in my hand and I spent a good 20 minutes digging the remainder out of the female end.

Manifold, related parts and gasket are likely culprits, as pointed out. I tore my manifold gasket near the front stud where the fitment is tight. But you found the culprit, which is good. Took me a couple of tries as well. After my attempts I got to the point where I could do the job in about 45 minutes!
