I removed my valve cover last night to replacethe gasket and found that the silver paint was peeling and cracking where the gasket mates against it when I removed the gasket 70% of the paint was stuck to it ....I ended up scaping the rest of the paint off on the mating surfaces and siliconed the new gasket in place.also found a leak on the icv hose where it meets the intake boot(using a propane torch).I did not run the car last night in order for the silicone to dry.Hopefully I wont have anymore leaks.

still having idle issues
Well after installing the new valve cover gasket and waiting for the silicone to dry I test drove the car and the idle still surges now a little around the 500rpm range but once it warms up it Idles high at about 1000rpm it surged a few time at that rpm and then settled down to 1000rpm.....I am not sure what to check for or change.
I will change the coolant temp snsor tonight and see what that does .
