Default idle issues fix "results"

well the idle is fixed it seems so far this is what the deal was if you guys want to know.....

replaced the upper intake pretty much........

new TPS
new Air bypas
those two just becouse i had a few extra buck

but ......the gasket from throtle body to egr plat were blown out
............so i found out by smelling the exhaust .....was sucking it in the intake

...........egr to plenum was blown ......

............plenum to manifold had blow out streaks in it

replpaced all the gasgets

then noticed still had a slow rev down and unhooked what i thought was the cruise control and throtled it manually and it was fine but ended up that when it was installed in the factory the put it in a spot that pinched it......freed it up and everything is good

so thanks for all the advice and hope this helps some of you.......

now i can start working on the rest
