Car idles at 1500rpm with idle set screw all the way out
How do i get my idle lower? I just performed the TB mod and so now i only have the one idle setting screw.. it idles at 1500 rpm with the screw not even touching the cam. What could be causing my high idle and how do i get it lower?
Also when the car starts to warm up theres a wierd "throaty" tone coming from my air filter thats not there when its cold. It doesnt sound normal.. almost like if you do your best death metal yell combined with an air compressor motor... the car seems to not boost as easily when this sound is being made. Any ideas?

Butterflys close fine, i just had the throttle body out and checked its performance. I bought a can of starter fluid and have been checking for vac leaks but havent found any? YET at least... any ideas??

Im not sure what you did, but you should still have 2 adjustment screws. one on the secondarys, and one on the primary. also if it is non turbo, the one on top of the throttle body.
maybe you should post a few pics of your throttle. cause i have never sen a TBmod that removes either adjustment screws.
you may also want to double check you throttle cable. on my car, iven when there is some slack in the cable, it is putting light tension on the rotater. maybe check you dash pot also.
truly hope somthing i said helps.

There is an adjustment screw that is for setting how far the butterflys will close. It is a screw with no head and a small nut to keep it from coming loose. If this is on the 10th AE as in your sig, then you will need to remove the TMIC to get to the screw. After I did emissions removal, my idle was 1500. Don't expect to get it perfect the first time.
