OK, I know what is causing the problem now! Seems the idle adjustment screw is gone and it is sucking air like crazy. Does anybody have any ideas on where to find one?? Chrysler dealership said they couldn't order the part, couldn't even tell me the bolt size so I could plug the hole temporarely.

Tell the dealer to order part # MD614948, which is the BISS and MD608806, which is the #5 o-ring. If they can't do it, try a Mitsubishi dealer.
