How old are the plugs? If you aren't sure...you might as well change them out on a MY00.

MAP whack can't hurt.

Plugs should be the OEM NGK Laser Platinum PFR7G-11S...if you bought some crap Bosch platinums, then that could be your problem right there.

Low rpm problems are very seldom the MAP sensor... don't get carried away hitting it.
