last compression test was done 4 months ago mazmax said it was good ill go look for the papers. I also pulled the vacuum line from the map sensor and it doesnt seem to be getting much vacuum. do you think that could be the problem. I remember when i changed my map sensor that the vacuum from the hose was very strong but now when i just checked it its week.

The vacuum will be weak if it's not idling properly. The vacuum is more of a result than a cause. There are many sensors and setting that affect idle, I suggest you look for codes. Then search the old posts in this forum and/or dig up the FSM (www.iluvmyrx7.com and www.fd3s.net had it last I checked) and read in Section F.
