Default ANOTHER IDLE PROBLEM!!!HELP
OK. I just installed a new 65mm TB and my idle of course started acting up. I have the TPS set at .98 Do you guys think that I should raise the TPS to 1.11. Someone told me that if I go bigger on the TB I need to increase the TPS to 1.11. Anyone let me know what you think.

No, I didn't. I sprayed TB cleaner all over and it seems like there is no leaks. Anything else you might think is up??

spray carb or tb cleaner in the 2 holes until clean and make sure to put a new gasket on it for a tight seal
