valve covers

Alright my truck is starting to idle very rough and has died once at idle. So I am going to check the UVC harness. On the passanger side of the truck there are two bolts on the bottom of the cover that is nearly impossible to get anything on. Any suggestions? Also any other suggestions on what might my problem be?

If it was loose then that should be your only problem. Very common for it to happen. If it's not fixed, you should scan for codes.
