EMER: stumbling 200q20v
Ok, here's what's going on.
Changed the oil out for fresh Mobil 1.
Replaced the bypass valve hose with new vacuum hose from NAPA. Also pulled
off the IM->manifold hose(michellin man.) Cleaned, degreased,
inspected(bent, twised, the works) and reinstalled. Also, I changed a
small, 4-inch section of hose that goes from the manifold(back in the
little cluster of hoses that are impossible to get at because they're under
the idle stabilization valve.) This hose tee's off and one end dissapears
and the other goes to what appears to be a fuel regulator type module(this
makes me suspicious.)
I then pulled the fuses for the computer, waited 2 minutes, and popped them
back in(to erase any 'memory' of leaks.)
So, I take the car out, and it now stumbles, just a teensy bit over 1.2
bar(not 1.4bar, so the computer isn't playing into this.) Very, very heavy
stumble. It's like someone lowered the fuel cutoff to 1.2bar instead of
1.8 :(
At first, the car drove -ok-, but it took a LONG time to build full boost
and the car felt extremely sluggish despite the 53 degree OAT.
HELP! The car needs to be functional by 9-10am tomorrow...

PS:It may not be something I did. It did something similar while on a
turnpike trip. I(and others) thought it was something along the lines of a
soaked distributor, since I had met up with a sizeable puddle. Now I'm not
so sure(especially since the 200q20v distributor is damn well surrounded by
about 2000 other things.)
