Throttle body coolant removal idle issue

Saturday I did the throttle body coolant bypass.

http://robrobinette.com/throttle_body_coolant.htm

Instead of doing the safety wire I removed the spring and tightened the screw all the way down.

Now my car idles at 1300 whethe it is a cold start or warm or hot.

Did I overtighten or undertighten the screwn by chance? A problem related to something else?

I checked my powerFC and it is supposed to idle at 900/950/1000 (AE/EL/AC)

Did you try adjusting the air bleed screw at the bottom of the TB?

I can't see your throttlebody of course, but try physically rotating the fast idle linkage by hand. Does the idle go down? Under etc--> sensor/sw check in the commander, what does your VTA1 (full range TPS) and VTA2 (narrow range TPS) say? Does rotating the fast idle change the voltage?

When I push the linkage by hand nothing changes.
vta1 = .44
vta2 = 1.06-1.07

at :26 you should hear me say "down", which means I am holding fast idle open all the way

Double check the throttle and cruise cables, there should be 1-2mm freeplay in them. Check for vacuum leaks though. Your TPS voltages are still in spec. If all that checks out then you just have typical PFC idle speed frustration.

I know the throttle cable is good, I'll double check the cruise tonight.
If that isn't it tomororw I'll go through the idle learn.
