Default Installed Hotwire..question

Installed the hotwire kit this evening. Started up with some difficulty, it would drop to very low idle than back up a few times. It evened out, but after a little bit idle would drop after I gave her a little rev. Drove it around the neighbor, seemed a little better, but idle is getting to 550 to 600 range. The only thing I can think of is I did a poor job of grounding the hotwire kit? I bolted it under the rear carpet right side bolt down bracket. I'll try a better ground tomorrow.. Curious if you guys concur, low idle = bad ground?
