Bad Idle

[stud4u2c17]

well i replaced my head gasket last week and i couldnt get the intake manifold on all the way.. i mean i got it on and tighted every bolt but the one in the bottom center... could that cause my car to idle rough like a vaccum leak?? im not sure if this is caused by it but please help ... i need my car up and running soon!!
thanks

o yeah when it idles it sounds like its missing in a couple cylinders... i know its times good but could this cause it?

it could be a bad TPS, also the EACV valve. but before you do any thing. while its running @idle spray some carb cleaner around the intake manifold, head area and anywhere there are vacum lines. just dont spay a whole shit load on it. you dont wanna cause a fire. if the idle picks up when you spray it on an area, well theres your vacum leak and problom. hope this helps, just a cheap little trick
