Default NEED HELP ASAP

Okay i bought the sr performance cold air intake/throttle body combo off of american muscle for my 94 gt. But after installing it was idling very high and was not running right. Is there any other parts i should buy too go along with it? Or am i possibly installing it wrong. Also it would keep the speed even if i was not holding the gas down. Im new too the whole modding thing and i just bought my car. So if someone can help me asap that would be great.

Did you move the idle set screw? Sounds like the screw is to far down.

Hey Andrew - Sorry to hear about the trouble here but this is sounding like a quick fix. Blue beat me to the punch here and I was going to ask the very same along with just simply making sure your connections are tight and there's no leaks. If it's still acting up please shoot my customer service team a call directly at 1-866-727-1266 so we can get you some help on this immediately!

When installing a new throttle body , you must perform a base idle reset, and adjust TPS voltage. There are no plug N play throttle bodys.

Should look something like this. Also do a quick google search on idle reset procedure. there is a lot of information on this subject. It's not hard.
