I just replaced the cylinder head gasket on my car and distributor rotor and rotor adaptor. the car starts up great but there is a low idle, between 500 and 1000 rpm and makes the car vibrate when its that low. since my tranny went south i cant really remember normal idle. how do you raise the idle? or is it normal at start up?

thanks in advance

your vacuum lines and such.

normal idle is 700ish warm outta gear.
600 in gear hot.
1200 cold start outta gear.

Normally a faulty idle control valve is indicated by such symptoms, you could try giving it a clean - or as said above, one of the vaccum hoses may have a leak.

the hose going into my idle control valve was lose, 200,000mi and 14 years of ohio weather i guess. clamped it and it brought my cold start up idle to 1000. is there any thing else i am missing?
