Default wont idle after tb install

when i first start my car it wants to die, it wont but it comes very close. i have to rev it a couple times and it will smooth out.

my car did something like this a couple months back. only in the morning on the first start it would die. i re-crank it and its fine.

this is kinda similar cause if its only been a few mins since restart it will idle fine.

all vaccum is good, but i did put a small crack/seem in the tb spacer. that thing isnt too strong. i overtighten the throttle linkage bolts and it cracked it. not all the way thru

disconnect the iac, adjust the idle screw to the desired idle speed. shut the motor off, set tps, reset the computer and your done

mine did that after my long tube install. I pulled out my 02's and DAMN! they were black as hell. So I replaced them and never had a problem since.

But your problem could be alot of things start cleaning all the sensors and stuff first. Like the IAC MAF and TPS
