Question NA 944/1 Idle dip and slightly fumbling acceleration

So im hoping these are related, and that i can solve them!
First off, at cold start, it vibrates quite a bit at idle. idles about 8-900 (same cold or hot). is it supposed to idle higher when cold? why isnt it if so?

any time i push the clutch in, the idle dips a little then settles. its not that bad, but it shouldnt.

the fumbling i only notice when i really step on it, say WOT or less. i suppose i might notice it at constant speed, but its hard to tell if its little bumps i feel or slight bouncing in speed. its most noticeable when i really get on it though.

i unplugged my o2 sensor and it didnt change anything. ive checked for vac leaks and found an intake runner gasket leaking, so i did the intake mani gasket. ive retracked the AFM as well.

what next? ive read possible FPR issue?

TIA!
