I just removed my coolant sensor gauge and had to remove the throtle to get to it. It was leaking and i wanted to re seal it. Once I resealed it my engine was at a really low idle. But i had to leave for work. It was sputturing to stay running. I started to drive and my brakes wouldnt work very well. They were very hard. I drove about ten miles and now my brakes work but my car is idling at about 4k. What should i do?

sounds like you have a vacuum leak. check and make sure your vacuum lines are all hooked up and your throttle body is sealed. also check and make sure your MAF is hooked and and in the correct direction
