Any suggestions?
I also sea foamed it, but i'm certain that my vacuum lines are reattached.
Should i adjust the screw that the throttle flapper actually lands on?
(by this i mean the spring loaded flapper, when closed, is stopped due to a little screw that it lands on)
did i do something wrong? i followed directions EXACTLY

it's a P/P stocker from smokin87TA ...the sponsor that does em himself.
the cable isn't too short..
when i start it up it idles fine, but once i start driving it idles at 2-2.5k and only idles down when i come to a complete stop and then wait like 10-15 seconds
its terrible.

I just got my TB from smokin87TA today in the mail. I did the TPS reset at the same time I installed it and it has worked perfect all evening. I'm lovin it. It definitely picked up some power and the improved throttle response is great.
All I can think of is just to make sure there are no leaks & try the reset procedure below one more time. Just ignore step 3. It's what I followed and everything has been great. There was a red o-ring on the IAC sensor, make sure it's there too. I guess maybe the sensor could have gone bad somehow too. If you move around in your driveway with the hood up, can you duplicate the effect? Maybe you could have a friend check to see if the blade could be sticking open.
If you wanna mess with the idle set screw, here is the proper procedure. (thanks to predator-z)
1> Turn ignition off
2> unplug TPS sensor at TB (botom on driver side)
3> open the TB blade a bit via idle screw
4> Turn ignition on (do not crank)
5> wait 30 seconds
6> Turn ignition off
7> Plug TPS sensor back on
8> crank motor and see if it idles better
9> repeat untill idle is to your taste.
