90 4runner bad idle after valve cover gasket replaced
So I just did the valve cover gasket that is under the air intake. Before i took intake off with all the hoses the truck ran awsome. when I put it all back together it idles like it has a lumpy camp in it and almost stalls. but when i brink up the rpm its runs fine or when i am driving it. I was thinking that it might be the egr. But if anyone has had similar issues and fixed it i would love to know what you did. I am sure I put all the hoses and line back in the right spots. And i reused the intake gasket.
Any sugestions would be great
Thanks

its a vacuum leak. take another look at all those hoses. two might be mixed up or one might be disconnected. this happens to me all the time, i always forget one of the small ones or the passanger side PCV on the valve cover.

oh I see. Well he should be able to get just the gasket from the dealer.
I got mine a few months ago for when I pull the intake. Did he even try the dealer??
where abouts in canada are you??
