Jumping Idle?
I took off the stock intake and the a/c system and now my idle is jumping it is at about 1400rpm and jumps to 1700rpm if I try to lower it the car will stall if I don't hold it a 1500rpm(basically any stop light) I also changed some of my vac lines to silicone but I am almost positive that I did it correctly and did not leave any open. Any Ideas please. Thanks for any help provided.

It's a vacuum leak. Maybe one of the old lines is leaking. You may have bumped one when you did all that.
Grab a can of carb cleaner and spray (more like soak) each line one at a time. The idle will change when you spray the leaking vac line.
And next time SEARCH. This is arguably the most commonly asked (and answered) question on the Forum.
