Default Skunk2 IM idle high

I have a GSR throttle body with new OEM gasket, skunk2 intake manifold with extended studs and Hondata gasket on my B18c1.

Just got it running and she idles around 2200 RPMs.

The only thing I can think of is some sort of vacuum problem.
I am no longer using the charcoal canister or PCV valve.

I am trying to keep my engine bay as simple as possible.

Anyone know what kind of vacuum line diagram to go by or where to find it?
Any suggestions on how to run vacuum lines.

Are you running an F1 engine? Lol Isnt there a bracket on the intake manifold that the throttle cable runs through with a nut on either side thats used to adjust the idle?

All necessary lines needed to be plugged were capped off accordingly.

My cable has slack and is not the issue.

Could be the little screw under the Throttle body pulley. I have seen those cause high idles. Happened to my hatch.

Are you talking about the flat head screw on the throttle body ?

It's your TPS, you probably put it on incorrectly and it's registering high.
Unbolt the TPS and move it around and see if the idle drops.

LOL! I had a leak on my throttle body.

I had a brand new OEM throttle body gasket on my throttle body.

I must have over tightened it because I replaced it today with a Felpro gasket, just snugged it up and problem solved!
