Leaky rad cap= idle problems?
My upper rad cap started leaking.... BAD.....
Now my car wont idle and dies under 2k if I remove my foot.
I noticed the leak and saw a bunch of wires SOAKED with coolant.
I assume these are the auto idle controls??? Will drying it out/replacing the cap solve this?
The only thing else I did was clean the intake, dont see anything wrong?

change the rad cap, dry the wires/connectors and see what happens. if you've just cleaned the intake and now have a dodgy idle i'd bet you've knocked off a vac line or damaged something around the intake.
