Default Idle problem after TB install

Installed a Skunk2 TB on my 2000 S2k with a thermal spacer. Starts and idles fine until you rev it. Rev it above 2000 rpm it idles very low and then dies. Could it just need the TPS adjusted? Any help appreciated.

most likely it's reading too much air, so the computer compensates for it by injecting too much fuel, hence it dies after you blip the throttle. i had a similar problem before, but it was due to a different reason why the the computer was reading too much air, causing it to run rich at low/idle rpms, and when while slowing down to a stop... the car would stall when you clutch in to stop.

did you do an idle relearn?

can you get it to a condition where it doesn't stall by using the throttle body stop screw adjustment?

have you cleaned your IACV?

map whacked?

have you adjusted your TPS?

Take the skunk throttle body off and tell me if everything is back to normal.
