I just did this yesterday and the car would idle then the engine light comes up and revs to 2-3 k then goes back to idle (engine light goes off) then engine light comes up idles 2-3 k then goes back to idle than stalls. Any idea why?

Hopefully it's just an issue with your iac. It's a little sensor near the rear passanger side of the manifold that controls your idle. It's got 2 torque screws by memory. Check to make sure it's plugged in good and not too old and dirty.

Edit: if you're talking about your vs it's on the passanger side on your throttle body.

It's a VR commodore. Has a pod filter on it and doesn't seem to suck air through the pod filter. So maybe it has a leak in the manifold itself. I will use gasket sealant see how I go

All gd. Fixed it. Didn't have a vacuum hose on the throttle body connected. Hence why the idling was stuffed.

Did the gaskets recently due to a broken water fitting at the back of the manifold

Replaced the plastic fittings with brass ones from an old workplace
