car dies when idelling...HELP.....

hi every1

i have a 03 with around 60k miles. sence yesterday, everytime i turn the car on it dies, the rpm drops under 800 and slowly dies.everything runs fine when i rev it or drive it but as soon as i stop the rpm drops. i checked all the plugs and unpluged the battery last night but nothing happen. any idea whats going on?

yesterday i tried to change my headers and so i opend the part of the intake maniforld (the elbow part) with the tb and all that stuff....and i unpluged the hoses and the pluges that were conected to the elbow part.....and then when i put everything back on ( the hoses adn the pluges and ete.) i turn on the car and it dose not run right.....

You probably have a major vacuum leak.

Check for a disconnected hose that you may have missed on your earlier job. When an engine will not even idle, it is ususally a large hose left off such as the power brake booster.

If you unpluger your throttle body the idle must be "relearned".
