update. went to pick up the new 02 sensor and coolant temp sensor and had to turn around. Barely made it back to the house. I'll have to pick the sensors after the wife gets home from work...

what about a vacuum leak? yes? no?

well there is only one vacuum port on the ve manifold that doesnt get used right up top. if that isnt capped then yes that could be a problem.

update. bad 02 sensor.. now I have a leaky radiator. I'll replace it tomorrow and get some miles on it and see if the problem returns with the new 02.

Thanks for the help guys!
