    We would only be guessing and that would be pointless, doing an error check will help point you in the right direction.

    Sounds like CAS. It will not usually show an error code.

    I'm thinking more TPS, IACV or MAP sensor.

    Yep, no throttle body gasket + Gap = More air into the intake before the MAP and IACV can take a reading.
