throttle body issue...

[DRFTR8]

i just installed a new works throttle body in my car... but now the idle keeps going up and down... specially when i come to a stop.. it will start from 1k then it will rise slowly to 1500 then it will tapper off then it will drop for a second then back up again.. i installed everything correctly.. is there anything else i need to do..do i need to unplug the ECU so it can reset with the new throttle body installed?...

Did you adjust your BISS screw?

Make sure your vacumn lines where put back on and correctly?

I guess checking vacuum line is a good idea.

Sometimes the throttle cable is not released fully after releasing the accelerator pedal, and makes that kind of problem. You might want to check whether throttle cable is sticky when the pedal is moving.

Check all your vacuum lines. The idle hunting up and down is a pretty good indicator there may be a leak somewhere.

Spray brake cleaner around the gasket to find a leak??? If there is a leak, the brake cleaner will get sucked into the engine. Brake cleaner is corrosive and can possibly damage a gasket and cause a further leak.

Best way to find an leak is to do a pressure test.

Not brake cleaner... it should be Carburator Cleaner. Not to confuse the two and cause bigger problems.

Mike, just start the car and let it idle, then dump a bucket of water on your engine. If it stays alive then your ok, if it dies then you're screwed.
