idle issue

Ok so not so long ago i blew my headgasket and i replaced it but ever since its been idling funny idk if i flipped some wires ir something. When the car is cold it idles low like 600 then as its warming up its starts creeping up eventually reaches 1600rpm so is there any way i might have mesed anything up.

Could be a vacuum leak, mis-adjusted TPS, mis-adjusted idle screw, non-functioning air regulator...

Check those for starters.

Are you running rich perhaps? Try taking your AFM apart, and leaning it out. Turn the gear clockwise. But be careful when you loosen the phillips screw, that you don't let the gear come undone. Try that and get back to us. There is also a write up on how to rebuild your AFM. It is a sticky on these forums somewhere. Good luck man.

^^^ instead of guessing, you could always verify it first. Just hook up a fuel gauge.
