I just installed a ported T/B from Jantzer, and one of the first things I noticed was that my idle hangs around 1100rpm for a few seconds, then drops down to normal. Also, the car will coast at 20+ mph without my foot even being on the pedal becuase of this.

He didn't drill any extra holes, and it also doesnt appear that he took off too much material around the blade. I checked for leaks by spraying brake parts cleaner around the T/B, and no hickups..

Anyone have an idea?

sounds like the cable is to tight, holding your blade open a tad

any slack in the throttle cable? i had to undo the plastic clip halfway back on the cable, then let it self adjust and reconnect. 5 min job. also maybe check the throttle cam stop / adjust screw, maybe loose? i'm just guessing.

Was the battery disconnected or the computer reflashed in the course of the install? If so, give it some time (a few weeks of driving) or do an idle relearn.

If not, then you may have to tune your idle airflow (RAFIG). Do a search in the PCM forum for info on the relearn and RAFIG.

Ill check the cable, thats one thing I overlooked..

And yes, I left the battery disconnected during the install.

Your computer is relearning your idle. Unless you drive a lot, this can take some weeks. But it will eventually settle out and return to normal.

You can do the relearn procedure I mentioned. It involves letting your car sit and idle in park and drive. It beats dealing with hanging idle and the "cruise control" effect for weeks on end.

ok, sweet. Ya, your not lying about the "cruise" effect.
