The car had a blown head gasket (oil in water). I replaced the head gasket and that cured that problem. Now I have excessive air pressure coming out of the hose from the valve cover to the fresh air intake. Thecar will not idle unless I adjust the idle control screw and even then dies when put in gear. Any ideas?

Are you sure you put the head gasket on correctly? Check pcv system may not be working.
