Default Plenum Spacer Issues

I just took my car to a shop to install the plenum spacer.. When i was driving back home, when i was neutral position my car rev would go alot less than 1k rev and it almost felt like it was going to shut it self off. Got home and turned the car on and it is kind of shaky and if i leave it normally its revolution will go down and the car will shake more and then they will go to 1k and it will just keep doing this... Any recomendations besides taking it back to the shop tomorrow?? can i drive the car like that??

Make sure the gaskets are aligned properly. If the gasket is no good then your going to feel a power loss.
