Default car will not idle anymore input please!

Well here it goes, My car decided it no longer wants to idle.
The only changes I made were to hook up o2 extensions, o2 sensor ground and put in the pcv system. Prior to this I had driven it aroud a few 100 miles times with no stalling issues. The car has now decided it will not run unless I keep it around 1200 rpm with my foot power and will idle very rarely If I ease of the gas slowly but then it surges around and eventually will die.
This thing is really pissing me off It's cursed.
Thanks for all and any input. I am thinking about a viking funeral for it.

Good luck seeing how you give no details about the car or mods. You don't even say what kind of car it is.

Did you bother checking the plugs?
Do you have an SES light?

I just changed the plugs and wires today. It still has the same issue. It was running fine with a ses light on for the 02 sensors on and when I plugged in the extenstions it stopped running and had no ses light. This thing just does not like me.

what did you do to the PCV sytem?did you remove the throttle body at all? make sure the iac motor is (plugged in ) and working right,sometimes they "stick" and cause lack of idle.
