Dont think there is any leaks at the manifolds, Looks clean there.. unless a really small leak could be doing this? I dont see any sooty areas around there

I was hoping It could had been just the exhaust leak..
well I guess I Can rule out the ICP sensor and Exhaust leaks
the hunt continues ..
How to check for a failing IPR ? Seems my "Idle Recovery" could be due to this.. Cruising along and come to a stopsign/light clutch in, Drops to like 300 rpm almost stalling..? than idles fine..
also are external UVC Harness interchangeable? I found a guy parting out his 96' and my UVCH connectors broke and are some what loose on the Passenger side, Was going to buy the harness from the IDM plug to the V/C's ?
And assuming the compression test goes well, I'm planning on some glow plugs, And undervalve cover harness if needed..
Any suggestions on glow plugs? Should I stick with motorcraft? or are there options..
Thanks Cleatus12r,
