Accufab throttle body

Fyi I just installed the accufab throttle body on my 04, and was definitely nervous from some of the things I've read. But doing some research on YouTube calmed me down. Found out all you need to do to control the idle, which I did have an issue with at first, is adjust the throttle position sensor.

What I did was remove the metal spacers that are in the spacer where the screws slide through, this gives enough space to adjust the sensor on the throttle.

So I am happy with the seemingly quicker response, no hanging revs just a usual idle, and the throttle body looks and feels to be of high quality. Just need to get an updated tune to go along with this.

Heres the link to the video that helped me quell my nerves on installing a throttle body on a 4V. I didnt have a voltage meter with me, was planning on having my brother use his if I couldn't get it working properly.

Funny you should ask, secind time taking it out, this time.more then just around the block.

Truth be told, after driving it for about 45 minutes, i noticed that while in low gears the idle was high. So i did end up having to re adjust the throttle position sensor, and add an iac restriction plate, but its idling great now.

Also i used my volt meter and when i got the voltage to be where it should be, it idled horribly, and was not smooth. So i just manually, with out any meter adjusted the tps by ear.
