*Searched* Crappy idle. NOT the usual stuff.

Well, here's my question:
I had to replace the coolant hose to the TB and to do that, i needed to unbolt the TB so i could reatch it..... all is fine, move it away a bit for just giving me space to un-plug the hose and plug back in the new one.
Installed the TB again, checked all the houses and the plug that i had to disconnect... re-check everyplace i've messed with.. all looked OK but i start the car and the idle is freaky crappy..... no, its even worse then that.

I'm going down to it and try to tune the idle for it, just came to grab a bite 1st.

Is this normal? You have to tune it everytime you mess around with the TB? Did I overlook something?

Thanks

Sounds like you knocked off something. I would check the following:

1. Boost sensor line
2. TPS connector on the throttle body

At idle you should actually see between 16-20 hg of vacum.
