Default TB Blade

I had New Era Performance port my throttle body. They did a great job on it. I got the hair brained idea to knife blade the TB blade. Now I have idle problems. When I come up to a stop sign or light, the idle will go up to about 1500 RPMS. It will stick there for a few seconds, then drop back down.

I have come to the conclusion that I screwed up the TB blade. Is there anywhere I can get just the blade without buying the whole TB? Thank.

The cheapest thing is probably finding a stock used TB in the classifieds and swapping the blade

I agree^^^ just a cheap one or something then switch it out. How big is your TB?

+1. If you can somehow find just the blade, it will most likely cost as much, if not more than the entire TB itself.

May not be the blade, may just need to tweak the throttle blade using the adjustment screw or even a small leak between the TB and intake.

You can also buy a new blade from Kinsler Fuel injection.
