just finish install my Skunk2 IM and TB 68mm the only problem whit the TB is when you hit the gaz pedal and release it gently.......the RPM stay up...hit the pedal fast and he goes back at idle normaly....test my cable and is OK...some one got the same problem whit this SK2 TB here?

Slystone

i try it whitout the cable.......still stick lightly just touch it whit your finger and he goes back to normal idle!

and when the car is not running every thing is find!!??

skunk tb's have been known to stick, so its just something normal. One of the reasons people dont like using them.

Thank you for contacting the Helpdesk at Skunk2 Racing. Please review the following troubleshooting tips for installing your throttle body. In 90% of all cases, performing these tips will eliminate idle problems.
1.) Adjust your throttle stop. The throttle stop screw is a small black allen head screw with a chrome lock nut located directly under the throttle cable pulley. Loosen the jam nut and back the throttle stop screw out until it no longer makes contact with the throttle cable pulley. Now thread the screw back in until it makes contact with the throttle cable pulley. Once the screw makes contact, give it another quarter turn. Operate the throttle pulley by hand. If the plate feels like it sticks a bit, thread the screw in just a hair further. The goal is to allow the throttle plate to shut as much as possible in the throttle body bore, without actually closing fully. Once the throttle operates smoothly, and closes as much as possible, re tighten your chrome lock nut. Your throttle stop is now adjusted properly. When held up to a light source, you should see very minimal light past the throttle plate.
2.) Calibrate your Throttle Position Sensor (TPS). You will notice that the bolt holes in the TPS are elongated, allowing the sensor to be rotated back and forth. You will need a multimeter in order to do this correctly. You can either adjust your TPS using ohms of resistance, or by measuring voltage. If you use ohms of resistance you will need to set your multi meter to read ohms, and then measure the resistance between the center and outer most prong on the TPS sensor. Idealy you will want to duplicate the reading from your TPS when installed on your factory throttle body. If you have removed the TPS already, you can use .85 ohms as a target number. Loosen the bolts holding the TPS to the Skunk2 throttle body, and rotate the sensor until the meter reads .85 ohms. Once you have this setting tighten down the screws holding the TPS to the throttle body. If you intend to use voltage, the throttle body will need to be hooked up to the electrical connector in the car. Set your multi meter to measure 12 volt. With the ignition on, but the engine not running, measure the voltage between the center wire and the outermost wire. If you read 5 volts you have the wrong outermost wire. At idle you are shooting for around .45 volts. When you operate the throttle by hand, voltage should ramp up to around 4.8 volts, and then back down to .45 volts at idle. Once you achieve these readings, tighten the bolts holding the TPS to the throttle body. Your TPS is now calibrated.
3.) Lastly when you install your throttle body, make sure to use the supplied Skunk2 gasket, and spray both sides of the gasket with gasket sealer spray (available at any auto parts store). This will ensure an airtight seal between the throttle body and manifold. Also make sure that your TPS gasket is sealing properly, as this is another point that can leak air. Lastly there is a video on http://www.skunk2.com in which our resident mad scientist Dr Charles steps you through how to install one of those throttle bodies. This video is located under our Media tab, in the tech/install section. If after performing these steps, your throttle still sticks open, I may need to bring that throttle body in for inspection. Please post back if this does not solve your issue. If you have any more questions regarding Skunk2 products or policy please let us know.

but the best anwser iv got is this one:

Aftermarket... never as good as OEM. I get lots of skunk, edelbrock and prof. products TBs that stick or just won't hold idle. The problem is that the shaft is not held in place with bushings but rather by the butterfly. So if the shaft moves a bit to the side, the butterfly drags against the bore and it sticks. It only takes a little bit of side load like when you open the throttle and the shaft moves. The OEM Tbs are nothing like that. The shaft is firmly held in place and there is no chance of the butterfly hittiing the bore

send it back tell them you did all that ****, call and complain tell them your gonna call the BBB better business burau on them if thye dont resolve this matter.

it say's contact S2 if you still problems

your in canda that sucks im like 30 minutes from them.

Good Luck

Slystone

i'm gonna fix my self...don't want to wait 3 month to drive my CRX!

Slystone

ok i fix the problem (not perfect) i just bind the TB spring a bit and now he return..not exactly at is place but for POOR quality product like this that will be fine!

OEM TB are way better than after market one who are not precise at all!!

OEM TB are ugly but they work 100%

after market is for Drag or race that it!!

now i know why TB Spoon are $600+
