Well I figured out the problem why car idling bad. As you recall with old BBK TB it was idling low when it came out the shop 8 months ago. So Im thinking there was something wrong with the TB replaced it with a new ACCUFAB TB and the idle was worse and sound like a 747 trying to land in my garage. As alot of you guys was right I had a vacuum leak somewhere. Well it was the new TB come to find out when I unplugged the MAF sensor it would atleast keep the car somewhat idling long enough for me to look at the engine. well with a flashlight and where the 747 sound was coming from I placed my hand over the noise area which was the TB and the high pitch would change as I inspected further with flashlight I could see a gap between TB and supercharger arm I could move the gasket with my finger back and forth even though TB was torque down and didn't move all I had to due was really torque the 4 screws down and it fixed my problem. Car idles perfectly and runs like a champ. anyway wanted to say THANKS for all your guys help.

I dont mind I spent money on this JLT CAI kit it actually allows me to go into boost sooner and I dont need to floor it for the boost to start.

Just saw all of this get ready because i think I have your solution since I just went though this not to long ago. Change your TPS sensor its like $25 at autozone and I bet it will fix the problem and you will kick yourself for all the crap you have put yourself through. My old TPS seemed to be working but I changed it out and put everything back to how my car was and no more problem with high idle or holding high RPMs and slowly coming down.

You must not read thru the whole thread MRTDR I got the car fixed. It was the TB not torqued hard enough against the arm of the supercharger. It was torque down but had a gap between the TB and the gasket and the arm of supercharger. I could move the gasket back in fourth but the TB didnt move so I torqued it down really hard and it fixed all my problems. Thanx for trying though.
