Default question for those with cutouts

when you have your cutout open and you let off the pedal does the car keep going at the speed?

for instance when your driving and you let of the gas pedal the speed starts to go down well when i have my cutout open it seens like it just keeps going at the same speed.

nope....then the problem is going to be my tb since i have a ported 99 tb on a 02 car.

the reason i think thats going to be it is because when i come to a stop my car wants to keep going lol
i think i have to change out the shaft or something.

Default tb blade shaft

Nothing to do with your cutout. TB shaft could be bent just a bit allowing your blade to get stuck. Mine used to get stuck when i ported mine. When i cut the front part of the shaft, it bent a little, enough to make the blade stick. I took tb off and just straightened the blade. Good Luck.

If you still have your stock one, send it off to a sponsor on here to have it professionally ported. Then toss that one on and your problems are solved. I think its a good idea. I never had a free tb around or else I would of shipped mine off. I had to buy mine ported. I think mine is a little over ported. It causes quite a few problems.
