The dreaded idle problem

[pearltsi]

Well, I have an idle problem. sticks at 2k, bump the pedal and it goes back to normal.

When i try to shift in high rpms, i gotta do it fast because the rpm's take off.

I changed the TPS with a brand new one and the wiring.

What else should i try to change?

Wasn't there an issue w/ the Lorenzo TB's having a minor vacuum leak issue that needs to get rectified after having it for a while?

[pearltsi]

Ive had an idle problem since i put the thing on. Its been on maybe 2k miles. But if i changed to the stock TB i had the same issue

hmmm sure its the DREADED idle problem and not the TPS problem.. DREAD is my evil twin brother that fucks up other peoples cars if they are faster than his.. if you had a DREAD idle problem then you prolly have sugar in your gas tank

[pearltsi]

Any ideas?

AIC?

How are your brakes? Did you check the brake booster line. If you blow that off, you will get the same 2k hanging idle.
