Does anyone have suggestions on what is wrong with my Porsche 944 idle?  I
had the engine pulled and all the oil seals replaced. The shop messed up
something and won?t fix the problem.  The problem is during a cold
start-up the engine will have variations from 0 to 1000 RPMs and sometimes
die.  It never had this problem before.  After the engine warms up, the
idle stays constant but does have some slight variations.  Is there are
problem with the throttle control???  Please help!

This is what I have checked as of today with no success:

I made sure that all vacuum hoses are in good condition and are secure.
I bought a new idle control sensor, under the air intake or where the
throttle cable hooks up. Part should be in this week; it only cost $60.00
so I thought I would give it a try. I unhooked the wiring to the idle
sensor and nothing changed, so I thought this might be a hint of a
problem??
The air control valve was looked at:  seems to be working all right.  When
wiring cable is unhooked, car dies.

The one thing I did notice is when I disconnect the vacuum house on the
throttle (top hose), the problem goes away.  

The large rubber part that goes from the air filter to throttle has been
replaced and is sealed well.
