On an M50, the fuel pressure regulator has a little air line to under the manifold that can go brittle/crack up. It's only 8" long or so but causes mayhem if it's going bad. Also, check the main intake leakage points- probably due for an ICV connector repalcement under the intake manifold behind the throttle body, its clip/lock breaks and it has a viton o-ring/seal- plus the two ICV pipes of course- and check the ICV is moving freely/not sticky.
