Default Weird Idle Problem...

This happened after P&P TB and LT's install...

When I start my car, it will rev up pretty high.(around 2000 rpm's)
Then it will slowly decrease, untill it is at about 1000 rpm's.

My problem is, if I don't give my car about 10-20 seconds for the rpms to decrease after I start it, then as I drive, at idle, my car will be tacking about 2000 rpm's.

When I run errands, and I stop and start a couple of times, I have to wait a little longer to take off, and it revs up higher upon startup. And once again, if I don't wait long enough, the rpm's will rise to about 2,400 rpm's every time I push the clutch pedal in.

If it's a vacuum leak, then it's a pretty weird one, I've never seen a car act like mine is right now. Anybody had anything like this happen before? I can understand my rpm's fluctuating a little after the TB install, but this seems kind of weird.

You may have opened up the area that the blades rest on and have created a sort of vacume leak as the blades can no longer fully close. Try shining a light from behind the TB and if you see any light around the edges of the blades you found the problem.
