Its an 83 caprice and uses a carb (305 V8). The idle used to be fine not too long ago but if it sits there RPM's get to a point where i have to stomp the gas to make it go down "temporarily." I took off the aircleaner to paint it a while ago but i don't think i misconnected anything when i put it back on. I unplugged the anti-dieseling "thing" and the idle immediately went down "closer" to where it should be. Although its still not right as this clearly isn't the correct way to fix it. I had no choice because MPG's were going down. Any suggestions?

Check the choke adjustment and reset idle with the anti-dieseling solenoid reconnected...the solenoid should release and fully close the throttle plates when you shut the car off. Check for vacuum leaks as well.

check your vacuum lines, it sounds like one is not connected properly, hope this helps
