Default feels like throttle sticking...

Finally got to pull the car out of the garage today and take it for a spin after installing the headers making sure everything was ok before I have the duals put on....well I took it down the road holy crap it was loud but everything seemed ok until I let off the gas....its hard to explan but its like I'm pushing in the gas pedal then letting off over and over with a jerking feeling until I put my foot on the gas and it calms down..what could be making it do this?

Have you done a throttle body bypass? And what is the temperature outside?

ya somebody did the bypass before I got the car,,,and Its still decent around here.. 60's-70's when I first put my TB cover on a few months ago there was some oil traces but not much and I was able to clean it out with a rag but nothing like now ..

Yeh thats not cold enough for the throttle blades to stick. Your always going to have some oil under the throttle plate, but not a lot. If you have puddle and it's dripping in the intake, I could see how the engine might "cough." See if the PCV valve is still working. Put your finger on the end with the car on and listen for a click.

clean the throttle blades and bore. get some carb cleaner or brake clean and spray it out really good. oil residue causes them to stick quite a bit
