When I had idle problems, these were a few of the places I checked for air leaks: Perished O-rings top & bottom of the injectors Intake gaskets The pipe that runs for the rocker to the intake O-rings top and bottom of the oil return pipe under the intake Vacuum pipe for brake servo Elbow as has been said :)
