Here I thought I had my own lil gremlins to deal with occasionally but seems one has cropped up into your engine bay too now!

Well at least with you personally having recently stripped the engine right back, you'd be in the best position to hopefully identify where this problem lies or has come on from after all...

Best of luck with it and here's too a speedy recovery back to the good times again!
I feel like am maintaining a V8 now. I wouldn't worry much as am confident its vacuum leak. Since I did engine by myself am confident that engine part has no issues. Yesterday I used contact cleaner to check around LIM & UIM gaskets which has no leaks. Its definitely the vacuum hoses running around engine. I will definitely find it soon. Thanks & I hope my kat will be normal soon.

Airflow meter is not leaking, I checked it. To check its functionality I have to hook up scan tool later today to see if it is playing up. Its definitely leak though. I can hear the leak but can't trace. I could hear from sides and top.
