Default Nick Williams 102 DBW question/problem

So we have been having issues with the tune after installing a Fast 102 intake and new NW DBW 102 set up on my 436 LSX. The idle seems to hang on it and it acts like it has a vacuum leak so we smoke tested it and found that the throttle body leaks around the plug/socket and back set screw. Has anyone run into this problem and if so did it effect how it runs, are we chasing a non issue?

The car ran great(idled high) then ran like it lost the tune, maybe a bad ecm but not sure. It just started popping and wouldn't idle and would not start without a lot of peddle assistance, any idea's?

Thanks
Mike

I think your vacuum leak(s) are killing your idle and starting.....and probably the drivability. So, yes....it's definitely an issue.

Might want to get with the vendor you purchased the TB from.

There are a lot of problems with the NW 102 DBW throttle bodies; google it. The TPIS throttle body is much better, but hard to get. https://www.tpis.com/pages/8_10_11
