strange problem I have a 1998 Trans Am and today I put on a ported throttle body I bought from another board member. I believe it was from a 2000 camaro. I was told Bo White is who ported it. Anyway, when I put it on and started the car up it ran and idled but when you reved it up it wouldn't come back down it would just stick. I got out and checked it all out and the throttle control thing (technical name) behind the battery was keeping tension on the t/b. As soon as I put the stock one back on it worked fine. Just wondering if anybody had any ideas?

I, as well as a few others have had this problem. In my case, after a couple hundred miles of driving the problem went away. Someone may be able to explain exactly what is causing it but i know it went away after awhile for me. Good luck!

sounds like you have to adjust the tension on the tb cable - just follow the cable to the lipstick tube looking thing that has a connector on it...if you pull up on the tabs on the side of the connector, you can then push/pull the tb cable in/out of it...when you get the tb to close completely and have some tension on the cable, push down on the connector and it will hold the tension
see if that helps
