Thanks to Dave Head for the oscillation explanation, he was right on the
money - it was the ISV. However, it wasn't the ISV stuck open, it was the
little 'L' shaped hose underneath it that goes into the back side of the
intake. Apparently I didn't tighten the bottom hose clamp enough the last
time I cleaned the ISV a few months ago, and under boost it blew back a
smidgen, causing a minor air leak. Pulled the ISV, cleaned it, tested with
a 9V battery across the contacts to confirm operation, and popped it back
in. Fired it up and she's smooth as silk again.
Thanks to Dave and everyone else who answered, this list is a wallet saver!
