So i just finished installing the skunk2 throttle body in my gsr hatch and the idle is very high. It was at around 2000-2500 rpm but i got it down to 1700. Is this normal for the skunk2 throttle body? On the skunk2 tb there's no place for one of the vacume hose so could that be the problem if yes how would i go about fixing it? I've search on here and found a few threads with people having the same problem but it was never answered so if anyone is having the same problem and know what's wrong please help me out, thanks.

 

Have you adjusted the throttle plate stop? Or the air /idle screw?

 

yes i did thats how i got it down to 1700 rpm but that's still high. Any more suggestion's on how to fix this high idle problem?

 

sure you dont have a vaccum leak

 

where or what should i look for the see if i have any vacume leaks? All the hoses i can see seems to be good with no leaks.

 

something with the gasket does not cover a hole that leads to the map sensor. my buddy had that problem we had to make a gasket

 

Also check that the plate is closed all the way. They tend to have sticking problems.

 

my idle at 1.5 and the butterfly get stuck everytime I leave it for more then 5 days

 

my skunk2 TB gets stuck if i WOT it the nlet off. it will stay stuck in the closed position untill i slam on the gas pedal. i have mine idling at 750 to 800 rpms. i needed to remove the stop screw and nut from the TB (that would explain why its get n stuck in the closed postion) but i can deal with that but not the high ilde. also when drive n, the skunk2 TB will usually get stuck open just a little bit cause n the car to idle at around 1.5K-2K. if i snap quickly at the gas pedal nd let off, the car will go back to idling perfect at 750rpm.

SKUNK2 TB In my opinion sucks ***

 

^^^ where is the stop screw and the nut your talking about? What do u guys do with the vacume hose since on the skunk2 tb it doesnt have a place to put it. Also is there a way to fix the problem about the butterfly getting stuck?

 

the stop screw is under the throttle rotor

 

okay so i remove the stop screw from below the tb and now it idles at 1000-1200rpm but now everytime i step on gas the tb stays open and idle at 2500-2700 anyway i can fix this?

 

the idle is fixed now but here's a new problem everytime i step on the gas the butterfly get stuck open and if u step on the gas again it'll close but its doing this constantly, is there anyway to fix this?

My goes the other way like boosted k20 said

 

nice to know since i am thinking of getting a 66mm sk2 throttle body for my b18c1 this is still the problem even with the new one

 

bump in any case i think its best to just pay the extra money and go of the oem **** ITR and just get it machined to 65mm i dont think u need more than that

 

im going to take the throttle body apart this weekend and see what's causing the butterfly to get stuck everytime i step on the gas then let off, if i cant find out what's causing this im just gonna put the stock tb back on. It sucks cuz the skunk2 tb improve air flow so much that i can actually feel the different between this and the stock tb.

 

does anybody know if maybe this changed for the Pro series ones or is it still the same problem

 

bbump

 

I had my rpm tb get stuck when I first purchased it as well. Went to Kragen and they sell this small tube of oil, I think it was less than $4 and I squirted some on the tb spring while car off and opening and closing the tb continously. This seemed to fix the problem for me

hope this makes sense to you

 

was going to buy the Sk2 TB not changed my mind going with JG 65mm its a pretty much bolt off and bolt on type of piece just cost more but i guess you get wa you pay for

 

yo what kind of oil was it you used? I am just curious because I just picked up a 68mm s2 pro series tb and just in case that **** gets stuck on me i dont wanna flip out w/o trying something first.

 

I don't remember exactly, but it was in a small white squirt bottle with a skinny tip. I am wanting to say it said Mobil1, but I am not sure. Believe it was about 3-4in. tall. It was just regular oil. I squirted some on the return spring on the tb while openning and closing it and it did fix this sticky problem. go to your local autoparts store, I am sure you will find something to what i tried to just describe

 

will do thanks for the info bro.

 

no prob, just trying to help others with the problem I once had and had no answers to. Please post back here and let us know if it worked for you
