Terrible Idle...
At the beginning of this week I cleaned out my airfilters and saw the oil was low so I put a little more in. I was driving down the road, i had just touched the E on the gas meter, and all of the sudden my idle when in neutral went wild. It reved up to about 2100rpm and when I turned off the lights or other electronics it would drop to 1500rpm and then jump to 2100 and back about every 2 sec. WHAT THE HELL IS GOIN' ON?! I dont know if any of this has to do with the problem but just telling you what i did before the idle went weird. Thanks. Id appreciate your opinions or suggestions.

Andrew,
You have a vaccuum leak. You are non-sequential. Make sure you plugged everything you should have. I believe there is 20 plugs in all. And make sure your oil return line is connected.

yep, could very well be a vac leak, sounds like it
buy some starter fluid and have a trusty fire extinguisher ready and start spraying the joints and different areas. if idle changes, you found your leak

dude for the love of god use some ******* carb cleaner. skunks didn't you start a fire with starter fluid? why the hell would you suggest it to someone. vac leaks tend to be a stable high idle. but spray some CARB cleaner around all the vac/gasket points and see if it changes any
