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.

I did my throttle body and intake tubes, removed all and cleaned then reassembled. There was no need to do anything like that for my e-throttle. I cleaned the MAF and my K&N filter as well. My only issue was my own stupidity of reconnecting the AOS hose to the throttle body with arch facing back. Created Vacume leak. Needs to arch to the front to seat tightly (in my case)

I thought that was the case too, however my car decided to have a mind of its own.

When I started it immediately after cleaning the TB, it idled no lower than 2000rpm and when I blipped the throttle, it would just sit at whatever RPM I took it up to, like the throttle plate was stuck.

I ended up taking everything apart again to ensure the plate was moving freely only to find out it was still having the same problem.

It was only after doing the e-gas reset that it idles solid as a rock now.

I also cleaned the AOS tube, intake tube and intake runners while I had everything apart.

As a result my throttle control is extremely smooth. I was having issues with throttle response delay causing me to stall or randomly over-rev the engine to avoid stalling.
