Fitted new air filter, high idle

[bluenose]

My mechanical knowledge is somewhat limited but i had a bash at fitting a K&N which went surprisingly smoothly untill i started the car up. When i started it up and sat there for a few minutes, it was idling at 2200. Im guessing this may be something to do with the breather pipes as these are still not connected?! Would they make a difference to the idle speed? Would i need to buy breather filters for both of the pipes? Car is a Willy1 btw, any help greatfully received!

Cheers!

thought the breather pipes fitted in the base of the k+n

they are supposed to but the pipes are too thick and wont fit or reach.

still they shouldn,t affect the idle speed really unless your getting dirt in and blocking the isvc valve up.

I might just go and have a mess with the ISCV then, my mate said that is the most likely cause and its just coincidence that the idle changed when i put the filter on.
