Default Help!!!!!

My car wont stop idling at 3,000 rpm's. I'm guessing it's electrical, but I have no clue. SES light has been on due to the headers but it's been running fine. Tried to leave for work this morning and the bitch was screaming. My pos. terminal on the battery is rough looking, but I was wondering what if any kind of "band aid" would get me to the weekend. Please help anybody!!

How do I go about fixing it, or even finding it.

Plus, check all your connections on your TB while your in there. You could have possibly broke/melted/damages the vacumn line for the little evap sensor that sits on the drivers side that connects to the back of the manifold area.

Use a can of brake cleaner and spray small parts at a time, if the idle changes, then you have possibly found a vaccum leak
