Default TB port/polish help

I just ported and polished my TB with my trusty dremel and put everything back in. I cleaned the TB very well making sure there wasnt a trace of grease or dust left on it. When I put it back in and starter her up, it was idling near 1500??? Turned it off, started it again, idle was just below and felt weird. Is everything ok? I also did the TB stop mod

I could be way off base here, but I would imagine it may take a little bit for the computer to re-learn everything.

BTW, when you did the TB bump stop mod did you shorten the accerator cable? Just checking...

hmmm give it a day or two to adjust, if it doesn't go back to normal RPM's at idle, you can try reseting the computer.

Hope you didn't open the blade and port in there?Because your not suppose to,and would cause your idle to go sky high if you did.

reset the pcm and then start it up with a/c and other electrical loads off and let it idle for about 5 minutes. It should relearn the idle. You should not have any idle issues after a mod like that though. As said before - I hope you didn't grind where the butterfly seats.
