so i had the intake manny off, valve cover off all the sensors associated with these parts..and i put it all back together because i dont have time to fix the main problem i had, but NOW it wont idle..

the only code i threw was p0517 a battery code..could that affect the idle?? no check engine light when i rev or hold the gas..it is making a whistling sound so could i have a vacuum leak and thats why?

(i stripped a spark plug and thats why the parts were off..i was going to pull the head and fix it..BUT my rental is in foreclosure and i have to move so i cant do the fix right now..)

A vacuum leak somewhere, check the bellows tube for tightness, make sure the gaskets are all on the IM, and there isn't any wires pinched inbetween.
