Before someone comes and flames the crap out of you, how about some details?
Year, engine, trans, lift size, tires, other mods... What have you tried? When was your last tuneup?

You check and see if you have any bad leaks like your gasket tighten up the valve cover and oil pan check your intake and exhaust manifold bolts see if there is Air getting into your engine . Test by taking brake cleaner and spray different areas and see if idle change at all basically low dollar leak detaction
