Taking off from a start it doesn't seem to pull very hard, while accelerating if you roll back off the gas a little it seems to clean out a little and pull smoother. If you stay in it at about 4800 rpm it starts to pull a little harder and more smoothly. It doesn't smoke or knock at all.
The code it's spitting out is 52, have not tested the Knock Sensor yet. The cruise doesn't work and the fuse is good.
Thanks for your help.

So the car is back together and running much better. The cruise control even works. The vacuum lines where messed up so that helped but I still hear a vacuum leak. The motor started easily and had a rough idle for a while and then would settle down and idle at 1100 or so. It still doesn't have any snap to the throttle. It pulls better than before and seems to do it pretty smooth from about 2500 up. I have that one sensor, a vsv I think, has a broken wire and none of those type sensors have that filter on the end of them.
As far as the air leak, I am wondering if it is the mani, I sprayed a little brake clean near the front of the mani and the idle definitely changed.
Do these carss have manifold issues, the gasket was new so I reused it dry. I did not take off the bottom half, the real manifold. Oh well it runs OK, I could use a suggestion or 2. Oh and no engine light.
Thanks
