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 .Comment

Mine idles at about 1000rpm, but my throttle body was sticking and wasnt closed all the way, after i manually closed it all the way by hand, it idled at about 500. Just something to check i guess.Comment
