Default 2001 Cobra Idle Issues

Hoping someone can offer some advice....I have a 2001 cobra that has the following mods...
-BBK CAI
-BBK Throttle Body
-BBK long tube
-BBK midpip
-Bassanicatback
-Diablosport Handheld

That is it for the mods...when my car warms up....after about 10 minutes or more in traffic especially it won't idle right. I push in the clutch and the RPM will climb to 2500 I have to bump the gas....(rev it pretty higg) to get the idle to come back down. The TPS has been replaced and the shop I take it to in AZ hasn't been able to figure it out yet. They keep wanting to replace the same damn parts. Please...I need advice...luv my car but this is getting to be a pain in the @$$.

Thank You-
David Riza

Thanks for the response...does anyone know if a stock IAC works with a BBK twin 65mm throttle body....could this be an issue?

lol....i have this same problem with my 99 cobra. once i get into 2nd gear around 2K rpms i mash the gas real quick to loosen it up. had the same problem every mechanic can't figure it out.

Good deal though with those links.

lose the throttle body, its not doing anything for you. Go back to stock.

the 01s have a touchy intake setup. for some reason the computer doesnt much care for throttle bodies or fabricated spacers.

Put the stock throttlebody back on. Problem solved. I have only ever heard bad things about them. Everyone seems to have the same issue

By chance does the idle run high when the ac is running? if so that might mean that you need to have you ac recharged. The samething is going on with my car. Im going to have the ac recharged soon. Let me know if you try that..

Sorry thats when you push your clutch in. They say that the clutch will over comp for the ac. But yet I have no idea. But I going to try it.

Probably a bad IAC valve.
