AFM plugged in? What about the hose that goes from the top of the inlet to the RE-EGI box? How about the BAC valve hose (Is it connected?). Maybe where the section of the inlet duct join together (near the AFM).

Yes, it does sound a leak from somewhere around the AFM or the intake. That is exactly how they act.

Air fuel ratio adjustment, but that doesn't sound like the problem......
