Well I retightened the tb bolts and they all tightened like almost a turn, so I'm just guessing the gasket seated more and tightened up more. I sprayed carb cleaner everywheres and it doesn't seem to do it anymore, so I guess thats how shes gunna be for now, plus I have yet to put more then probably 10 miles on since the install so I'll give it a run tonight.

Theres a good chance that could be the issue considering it was allowing unmetered air to enter the engine.

Yea thats so funny once i fixed mine i thought it seemed a lil high still too but i think it is just an issue of not noticing it previously. I did read ion my research that our cars have a slight hang in the idle on purpose so as to aid in shifting. Just what i heard.
