what part are you having problems with? I never put on an aftermarket t/b on my mach but I removed mine many times.

I also have a question I just recieved my plenum and throttle body in the mail today, it was used, there is a rip in the gasket, do I need to buy a new gasket for that, or as long as the whole gasket is there is it fine?

mach 1 aftermarket throttle bodies suck. They require a large amount of time and you have to mess with them a lot to get working correctly.

OK, I installed the TB, IAC restrictor plate and K&N CAI. Now my mach has the damn check engine light on. I already pulled the neg on the batt so it can restart my ECU. That workded for awhile. I drove it for like 30min and turned car off to get gas. Turned it back on and there was the check engin light on. I think because of the IAC plate, I'm restricting too much air.

OK, I played with the TB again. My idle runs high and my SES light comes on only after I cut the car off and back on. Anybody got some answers?
