Question need help!

Ok ive searched and cant seem to get the answer im looking for so please help me out.I did the tb mod and now my car wont idle! and sometimes it dies.Also it doesnt rev up to 3500 rmps to warm up like it used to before i did the tb mod.Now ive heard a geat deal about the tps, Well i cant seem to find out what that is and where its at in the engine bay so i can set it.Also all my vacuum lines have just been replaced so thats not it.The only thing i can think of is that black canaster on the left side of the engine theres a throttle cable coming out of that area to the back of the tb.Well i adjusted that screw and it seemed to help alittle along with turning the idler screw an top of the tb.Im new to all this so i would really like it if some one could point me into the right direction with some pics or an explanation. And why is it not reving up like i should?

The black canister is the cruise control. Find your tps, and set it properly. And just because you changed all the vacuum hoses, doesn't mean there's not a leak. You could have a leak anywhere from the filter to the block, check every joint along the way.

Another victum of the throttle body mod.

You need to:

-check for vacuum leaks
-adjust your TPS
-reinstall your thermowax
-finally, when everything is working PROPERLY, adjust your idle

If you removed the ASV solenoid, your 3K startup is now disabled.

The cable you talk about is your cruise cable. It should have some slack in it at the idle position.
