How long since overall tune-up? Any applicable trouble codes? Use a gage and check fuel pressure. Any electrical part, if there is a problem with electrical wiring, replacing the part won't fix. Does it run ok, off idle?

JDL,
Thanks for the reply. We finally found the problem. Changed the temp. Sensor and found a broken vacuum hose. It was -25 C here when we changed the throttle body and I guess the hose split on the bottom side when we put it back on.
Appreciate the help.
