I changed a blown head gasket (major PIA!) and after reasssembly the engine is idleing way too high. It's a 95 3.9. I've used the adjustment screw but I can only get it down to about 1100 rpm. I didn't have this problem before and the AIC, ignition components,etc are fairly new. Any ideas?

Thanks

Look inside the throttle bore and see if the throttle plate is fully closed. The plate should be fully closed and idle air bypasses thru 5/8" ID hose.

Otherwise you have a vacuum leak somewhere. Example you left one hose off somewhere, or a gasket is missing or not sealing properly.
