Could tune do this? I had a mail order tune done for my heads and cam but when I start the car it revs to like 2100 and stays there for a little while and then settles down to perfect idle ~800. If I lightly tap the gas it revs back up to 2100 and hovers there and then settles down. If I rev it past 2K it will drop normally and go back to around 2100 and then eventually settle back to 800. What could this possably be? I have a C5 drive by wire. I also got a 90mm intake and TB the TB is a tpis. If anyone has the answer please let me know, or if you even think you know because I have no clue right now....

Air leak somewhere possibly. Double check the intake torque settings on the manifold bolts.

Make sure you use IN LBS!

So you think I might have cracked my intake? I really don't think I did, but I will check.
Does it really sound like an air leak coming from somewhere?

Does anyone have any other ideas? It started to get worse when I tried to drive it. It reved up to over 4K when I started it and then slowly started to go down. You couldn't drive it because it kept staying higher up the RPM. I just want to get this fixed and am trying to get all the opinions and ideas I can before I call the place that tuned the car Monday.

I've got a similar problem, actually the same, just haven't revved that high yet....
Coming off the gas and tossing her in neutral, the car stays around 2500rpms, when I stop it come down a little but doesn't come to idle.
If I slip the clutch a little to add some load and bring down the rpm's it will stay at idle fine.
One thing I did notice, I hooked her up to my buddies tech 2 and saw that when it's staying up at 2500, the TPS is reading 1% blade open....But if I slip the clutch and bring it to idle it goes back to blade closed.
I popped a code not too long ago for my TPS and I replaced the sensor, I keep getting intermittent failures every now and again about my TPS without the SES light though.
Could there be something messed up or that something in the tune as well?
1% throttle isn't going to cause 2500rpm's I don't think
Thanks all in advance

Yeah check tps settings just to be sure. A dodgy tps reading will force follower table to open iac and raise rpm.
Either way its the follower and cracker tables you guys are talking about. Get a tuner and sort it out.

Ok, the company that tuned it.....said that it isn't in the tuning and they don't touch those tables. What could I look for with autotap to try and pinpoint what it is? They told me it was probably an air leak....but I just can't accept this becuase after some seconds it idles perfect.
