Weird Idle ??

Ever since I put my Blower on Im getting a fluctuating idle...after the car is fully warmed up my idle fluctuates 100 or 200 so rpms at idle...Its really annoying because the V1 blower is kidna loud so as its moving up and down the blower is making this more noticable

What could be a cause of this ?? I just replaced the TPS, and the IACV was cleaned not too long ago. does it sound like a vaccum leak of some sort

when you put the tps back in did you check the resistance at both closed and WOT positions? It could be that or a vacuum leak possibly.

Well I replaced the entire throttle body...the TPS was in the factory spot

I would just check it anyway, because I was having a similar problem when I put on my PF TB.....the TPS is extreamly sensitive as I found out per fluke multi meter. My idle would fluctuate about 100-300 RPM. So I pulled the tps off and set it to .5 ohm (closed) and 4ohm at WOT. Its worth checking...its easy to do.

Well - jsut to be sure - stick your hand over the point wehre the gasket is with the car running.

see if you feel any suction there.

Next step is to take a spray bottle filled with a soap/water mix and spray it all over the SC piping, hoses, and manifold to find the leak.

Spray an area then rev the engine - see if you get bubbles.

I really does sound like a vacuum leak. What vacuum are you getting? TPS is also a good thing to check.

My idle has also been acting up. Usually it sits at 575-625 rpm but recently it started to sit sometimes around 800 rpm. Sup with that?
