Default low idle/crappy after intake install

Well i will start a new thread specifically for my problem. I just installed the BBK ssi intake and now when i turn my car on it will idle fine with a little bit of studder and after one min (cold or hot) it will lower idle to 600 and idles crappy. I set the timming at 14 if it helps. Also i can smell the gas in my exhaust, almost makes me tear up. Once i rev the car it revs nice and strong. It also hesitates when i give it gas slowly between idle and 2k rpm's. Would the tps cause this. I basically just swapped the entire intakes with sensors from another car. Help Guys.., PLease!

You might want to swap your IAC from the other intake.

I did that today.., i actually swapped the entire throttle body to the stock one that had the old iac but no luck.

I tried reseting the base idle but i think i failed as it still idles low but i turn up the throttle screw so idle is better.

I also checked the tps volts and did adjust correctly as it did need it. Its running better now but not as smooth as it did before the install. When cold i have to give it a little gas to get the idle goin. My fingers hurt.. LOL

Do you mean the BAP sensor? I have a MAF car. Bap sensor is plugged for MAF cars.
