High Idle

Post by jdobbs »

I bored out my throttle and now it has a high idle and a loud whistle. Is there a fix for this?

You might want to check that you didn't actually go into where the throttle plate sits.

You obviously have a leak some place so check everything you took off. Gasket, IAC, MAP sensor, TPS, any hose you had to remove, etc.
