The one guy next to the one working on it said to him to check it. He described my symptoms to a tee and didn't even know what it was being looked at for. He said 35k miles , I guarantee its an air intake gasket.
They apparently have a test they do when they are hot that confirms it. Ask your local shop what it is they spray in there.
