I had a valve job done on my car in addition to I also had to have the mannifold catalytic converter replaced. I bought a universal one, the mechnical put that on and now the car is continusiouly idling. It was not doing that prior to me bringing it to the mechanic. The mechanic has changed the idle control valves, censors, gaskets and put another thermastat on it. The car is still sucking air and idling up and down up and down. Any thoughts?
