Fixed everything but this !!!!!

Ok so this winter I've let the car sit for awhile and decided to make some changes!!!
The engine flooded once and I deflooded it found oil in the intake cleared it out and cleaned the MAF sensor and put in a new intake!

The only problem i'm having now is that when the car is in idle it sounds like the power dips Or the idle slows down then jumps back up also there sounds like a growling or gurglin in the engine!

Changes I've made:
battery (with new connectors)
plugs
wire
engine mounts
mid-pipe
AEM intake

How many drive cycles have you done since the battery change? Have you swapped back to the OEM intake box? Have you checked for vacuum leaks? Which intake did you go with? How low do the RPMs drop to?

Red face

Not sure what the drive cycles but since I changed the battery I've driven it 2 times
I have an aem in take (used to have the k&n typhoon 2)
It's sounds like the car is shutting down then it jumps back up
when I start it the RPM jump to 2k then drop immidiatly back to 0
