Had this 07 Wrangler with a 3.8 v-6 come in with a code P2173 High airflow/vacuum leak detected.  When this code would appear the engine would go into torque management mode and would loose power and misfire at idle.  At first I thought it was a throttle body issue.  But after doing some research, I decided to smoke test the engine and to my surprise I found a fair size vacuum leak at the EGR tube to EGR valve gasket. I replace the gasket and the o-ring on the other end of the EGR tube and vehicle is fixed. Moral of the story, do your homework (research, Google, Youtube, Identifix,ect) before you go on a wild goose chase.
