Loose throttle linkage after TB/Plenum install?
After I installed my Accufab TB/Plenum, when I punch the gass the rpm's don't recover very quickly (alot different than stock) I don't know, it feels like the gas peddle is alot lighter too. Is there an adjustment for the throttle linkage? Or might it be something else? It runs fine, just rpm's don't recover. I'll rev it and the rpm's will hang at 1500 for a few s seconds on its way back to idle. Any idea??

Check the TPS sensor on the TB. When I installed mine, it did just the opposite, recovered fine, then idle dropped to like 500 and would stall sometimes. I tweaked the TPS somehow during the install. Had to replace it. 30 bucks.

also, did you use a "feeler guage" (i think thats what its called)to correctly set the gap on your TB for proper idle?? Very neccessary! try setting the screw that connects to the throttle cable to where you can just see between it and the TB then tighten I believe 3/4 turn!

Well after driving it for a while it seems to be back to normal...I will see if it does it again or not. But apparently like GT1999 and GTron posted it was a temporary thing...it also might have had something to do with the fact that I haden't drivin it for a week, (I installed it last tues, and haden't drivin it til last evening). But for the first 20-30 miles it was def weird...

Emann is misinformed, the idle is controlled by the ecu. sure you can adjust the idle manually by the idle screw but it shouldn't be messed with. you change that then you'll need to modify your tps to read idle correctly and all that is pretty dumb considering your idle will be fine after the swap anyways.
