i really hate doing this but im lost and confused. i just changed the valve cover gaskets in my car on both sides along with the manifold gasket. i hooked up everything right and after i went to start up my car the idle was up to 2000rpm-2300rpm then went down to like 1800-1900rpm just to like jump back and forth on it. what did i do wrong thats making it idle up so high?? my dad and i have looked around everything and we hooked all the wires and everything up and i disconnected the battary for like 10-15 mins and it still did the same thing :bang: :bang: anyone give me an idea what i did wrong. and be4 i changed the it idle fine.

Did you use gasket sealer on the gaskets?

no i went out and got a new one and going to put something on *crosses fingers* did sound like it was sucking air in from the gasket area all the other line were good, i took it apart just be4 and all the lines were good and connected so i hope this works
