idle issue after valve cover gasket replace
I just got done replacing the valve cover gaskets on my 95 max. Now I get an oddity with the idle.
If I let it idle in park, it's at 700 rpms. after about 30 sec, it will slowly drop to 600 rpms, then gradually work it's way back up to 700 rpms over 5-7 sec.
In drive, sitting still, it's at 650 rpms. Then after 20-30 sec, it slowly drops the idle to 500 rpms. Then works its way back up to 650 rpms over 5-7 sec.
When I run my ac, while parked, the idle would be 1000 rpms, but as soon as I shut the ac off, it's back to normal: 700 rpms.
I did clean the IACV by unbolting the 3 screws from the brass looking cover it by using a toothbrush and maf sensor cleaner.
I used another gasket, did the torque specs and all, just like i did everything else. Also replaced many vacuum and coolant hoses.
btw, I did get a CEL on 1st start up. checked it, said code 55. I haven't checked it yet, but it's prolly the rear o2 sensor showing it's head after a reset.
Anyone got a clue about this?

It was the EGRC solenoid valve(code 10-5) left unplugged.![Roll Eyes (Sarcastic)](https://maxima.org/forums/images/smilies/rolleyes.gif)
