Question fast idle

Setup of my problem: i was having stalling problems and like once before, removed the IAC, TPS, and the throttle body and cleaned all. Worked before. Also, i have a problem with piston blow-by to the point that the air cleaner box was soaking wet with oil. I attached a rubber hose to the outlet near the oil filler cap and let the hose fall into a catch can.

After doing all of this, i have the high idle problem. I have read several threads about high idle and its relationship to vacuum leaks. Looking for vacuum leaks, I sprayed carb cleaner over all joints/hose connections with no affect on idle. Is the high idle because i have the oil breather hose going to an "open" can and not to the air cleaner box?

put it back and see...
You could epoxy a couple of tubes onto a plastic mayo jar lid and use the jar as a resevoir. Attach one side to the intake and the other port to the old hose.

I made one to suck out my old brake fluid last year (the 1 pint bottle is way to small) and it worked great.
