if you dont have a propane torch spray someFI or carbuerator cleaneraround every gasket, vacuum hose, seal that you could have possibly touched when replacing the manifold. if you hear the idle change youve found your leak.

I just read your other post about your little coolant problem. Now it sounds like you have a plug that is not firing which would explain the rough idle and rich smell. Pull the COP and let it dry and pull the plug and clean it up.
