How long since overall tune-up? Any applicable trouble codes? Use a gage and check fuel pressure. Any electrical part, if there is a problem with electrical wiring, replacing the part won't fix. Does it run ok, off idle?

JDL,
Thanks for the reply.We finally found the problem. Changed the temp. sensor and found a broken vacuum hose.It was -25 C here when we changed the throttle body and I guess the hose split on the bottom side when we put it back on.
Appreciate the help.
