gasket!
injector was leaking bad and car idled at normal....now i fixed the leak and car idles at 1200-2000
also...
would a slit in the intake gasket cause the car to idle higher then usual
took off intake and made a slit in the gasket, now i put some of that rubber gasket crap on and closed the hole.......i know i know replace any time you take it off but i was in a hurry....
also this is off topic does anybody know where a Chevy 95 lumina/monte carlo 3.1L idle screw is???

Why did you make a slit in the gasket? That doesnt' make sense.
If you have an air leak on the intake, yes that will cause the car to idle high. Try spraying a small amount of starting fluid near where you think the vaccume leak is; while the engine is idling. If the idle goes up, it sucked the mist in and you know where your leak is. Maybe you'll need to replace the gasket.
