I had a problem with my BBk that did the same thing. Coming to a stop RPM's would stay around 1200 then drop down to 800 when stopped. It ended being the cruise control cable on the TB. The cable was tight enough to hold the TB just slight cracked open even thought the TPS showed 0.

Hey, no problems here today. The TB didn't stick on the way to work.

I've heard of the same problems from the TPIS. Point is, if you spend the 30 minutes to fix eiter one, you'll end up with the same thing. A billet 90mm TB that works.

Haven't fixed the TB yet, as I wasn't having any real issues. Idle was holding at 1500 rpm, but with pushing in the clutch, it would fall back to 1000rpm.
BUT NOW, idle just holds at 1500rpm and does not fall

. It's the TB sticking. Must fix it tonight.

The thought of RIGGING a $500 TB to work has me very upset.

If you heard it from TPIS, it was an individual thing and is not common to all of them. On the other hand, ALL the FAST TB's are screwed up. I payed $$$ bucks for my throttle body, and I don't think I should have to do anything to it in order to make it work.

The car needs tuning for the new intake and exhaust setup (just about everything was swapped out- that's another thread altogether), it's relearning idle.

I don't want to point the finger at the FAST 90mm TB just yet, but it's looking like it's gonna act up/stick on me. I'll keep updating this thread.

Start pointing your finger my throtle body sticks and I have been having a terrible time with it. :
