Just got done doing a heater core bypass, installing an electric water pump, and an upgraded alternator. Now I'm idling at just a tick under 2k in park, about 1500 in drive. Anyone have any suggestions, something obvious I might've unplugged during the swap and forgot to plug back in afterwords?

Thanks for the advice, but it ended up being a vacuum leak. I didn't look to closely for vacuum leaks because I didn't have to touch any fittings, but apparently when I was messing with the throttle body linkage to get the heater tubes out I knocked loose the PCV line. All is good now though. :fork:
