TB Blade

I had New Era Performance port my throttle body. They did a great job on it. I got the hair brained idea to knife blade the TB blade. Now I have idle problems. When I come up to a stop sign or light, the idle will go up to about 1500 RPMS. It will stick there for a few seconds, then drop back down.

I have come to the conclusion that I screwed up the TB blade. Is there anywhere I can get just the blade without buying the whole TB? Thank.

The cheapest thing is probably finding a stock used TB in the classifieds and swapping the blade

I agree^^^ just a cheap one or something then switch it out. How big is your TB?

+1. If you can somehow find just the blade, it will most likely cost as much, if not more than the entire TB itself.

Throttle body is stock with a new era performance porting job. I will probably try to get a cheep TB and switch out the blade.

May not be the blade, may just need to tweak the throttle blade using the adjustment screw or even a small leak between the TB and intake.

You can also buy a new blade from Kinsler Fuel injection.
