dont need to caps it...what do you mean it jumps...from like 1000 to 1500? that is probably a vacuum leak just check and recheck all your vacuum lines.

How does it run good/ bad. Are all plugs firing? MAP sensor and TPS have the right plugs?

You might have a vacuum leak still even if lines are in...a line could be frayed...however the eff you spell it....I plugged every vacuum port on my manifold. If switch the tps and map sensor hookups and see if it starts up and runs better. Any CEL'S ?

I would run okay with a vacuum leak but if the plugs are switched no bueno.

Sounds like a vacuum leak to me. spray carb cleaner around the tb and intake manifold gasket to see if you can find a leak. double check all the vacuum line going into the manifold.
