When I swapped mine for the BBK 85mm TB I had a light for a while (about 50-75mi) then it just cleared itself out, I didnt have a chance to check what codes it was, I figured just the drastic change in air difference threw it off enough ti trip it till it relearned and adjusted itself to the new TB.

Did you unhook the battery? Also if you swapped the iac and tps to another tb did you make sure the o-ring was on the iac?

I got a CEL when I had mine done, it was because the TPS was a hair off and wasnt getting the right voltage.
