For those of you with 2000+ cars, you should know that after cleaning the TB, you have one additional step before firing up the car.

Since 2000+ cars come equipped with E-Gas, you must reset your throttle before starting your car.

To do this follow these steps:
1. Turn ignition 2 clicks to ON so that the gauges light up like a christmas tree and leave it there for 1 minute. (Do not turn the car on OR touch the throttle). You will hear it calibrating.
2. Turn off the ignition for 10 seconds.
3. Fire her up.

I spent HOURS trying to figure out why my car was idling above 2000rpms after cleaning the TB to find out that I had to do this last step before the job was complete.

Pedro, you should update your website to include this information, had I known ahead of time, it would have been a one hour job, instead I spent five hours hunting down nonexistent vacuum leaks.
