Default Replaced PCV Valve....worst.

So I replaced my PCV valve on my CX motor because the idle was pretty rough, it was bouncing up and down and when it sat steady, it sat pretty low. So I figure I should replace the PCV valve. I got the part from Kragen and went ahead and replaced the old PCV valve. I did the shake test and only heard a few rattle compared to the new valve. It fixed the bouncing idle part but now it idles lower than before at a steady rate. What did I do wrong? I pushed the valve as hard as I can back in. Any suggestions?

thanks,
Jeff

Have you cleaned your iacv and adjusted your idle?

not sure about the cx PCV,
but confirm that the PCV is installed correctly (not backwards/reverse direction)
