have you tried everything listed here?

and how did you check your vacuum lines? it takes more than a visual inspection.

did you check your O2 sensor? sometimes that O2 sensor won throw a CEL, and it will mess with everything if its bad......

your ECU monitors the O2 sensor to tell how rich its running a broken O2 sensor or a O2 sensor that gives a weak readout will tell the ecu a low voltage or no voltage at all the ecu reads low or no voltage as lean mixture so it makes the mixture richer ...... so how are you on gas milage????? if its cruddy then i would def test the O2 sensor

i would also try spraying around the intake manifold gasket, the throttle body gasket, around the fast idle, and around the idle air control.
