Low rpm

I get low rpm. It's my first car. It started doing this after iI changed the valve cover gasket. I started her up at an auto parts store after they cleared my CEL. I was getting oil in the spark plug wires and I haven't had any CEL's since. I changed ait filter, oil, wires, radiator, fluid, bled the system, new spark plugs. NO CEL. It does this when warm and last time it did this most was when in reverse and having the steering wheel turned all the way. Is there any tests I can do to diagnose or pinpoint the problem? Are there things i can mess with or that I shouldn't mess with.

Re: Low rpm

When was the last time the fuel filter was replaced?

Have you tried cleaning the throttle body and IAC?

Hi, I don't know when the fuel filter was last replaced. How can i troubleshoot the fuel filter?
And no i haven't tried to clean the throttle body. Friday I'll take her to a Mechanic hopefully till then hopefully i can find a way to troubleshoot this problem and fix it myself, though i am hesitant about messing with the car and making it worse.
