rough idle
i recently installed new valve cover. Put everything back together and now the car runs and idles rough. There is no apparent fuel or oil leaks. I have tried to check all hose to make sure im not leaking air. But the car doesnt want to rev past 2.5k and backfires from time to time. Can anyone assist me please.

If you cannot rev past 2.5K, Then your car may be in limp mode, Are you getting any CEl?
Check you haven't switch around the coil pack connectors or you will be getting a misfire.
Also, You will have high idle If you removed the throttle body without disconnecting the battery, In this case, You will need to do the reset:
