Default Annoying high idle

Ok it seems like ever since i got rid of the stock pcv set up my rpms stay around 1000 rpms until i come to a complete stop then they go back to 750... I dont really know whats causing this so im asking for some opinions here. Right now my pcv set up is just 3 long hoses coming off the valve covers dumping off behind the motor up underneath and out the bottom. Any ideas like maybe a spark problem?

Your problem is your current PCV setup.

I seem to be having the same problem after removing my catch can. Did you ever find a fix for this?

There is a right and a wrong way to do a PCV system. I suggest you search around for the correct diagrams, and route yours appropriately. Because the way it sits now, it is incorrect.
