SlowEf_ is an unknown quantity at this point
Low Idle

So i recently did put a new head gasket on my ef, before i took it apart it had a good idle at about 900 rpms. When i put back together and started it would have a low idle at around 100 and almost kill itself? Could it be my IACV?
Any Ideas!!!

Re: Low Idle

Check to make sure all the grounds were reinstalled.

Check each electrical connector by unplugging it and looking for any signs of coolant/fluids, then reconnect them tight.

Also try a smoke test to find any vacuum leaks.
