Default Just intalled ported and polished TB HELP!

well i just got done installing my tb and i think i need to mess with the screw for the idle. it is idling at 4-5 and seems like it needs to be higher. Also when my car is just idling and i turn the air conditioning sometimes it dies . im assuming if i move the idle higher it will quit doing this and im also guessing this is why my SES light went on while i was driving. Any input would be great!!!

are you sure you dont have any leaks first of all? The screw is adjsutable so you can tweak it some, but dont mess with it to much.

What is the car ideling at now with the AC off?

Your TPS is probably all out of wack. You need to reset it.

Set the screw to your desired idle, then turn the car off.

Unplug the TPS sensor and put the key in the on position but do not start the car.

Wait a minute or two and turn the key off then plug the sensor back in and see how it runs.
