so i got a skunk 2 pro series itm and i put it on and every thing is hooked up right and i started it up and it idles around 3500rpm,wtf is wrong?

 

You most likely have a vacuum leak.

 

i checked every line going to the manifold

 

Place your hand over the throttle body inlet and see if it still idles. You must be getting air from somewhere.

 

did you use a new Intake manifold gasket when you put the manifold on?

sounds like you missed a hose or something, or didnt screw a sensor on tight enough

check your iacv, fitv, throttle bods, and temp sensor

 

i put my hand over it and it still idles at 2200rpm,yes i used a new gasket,i have checked every bolt and hose

You definitely have a vacuum leak. You just need to find it now. Perhaps you can hear it leaking.

 

use carb cleaner on ur iacv? thats what people told me and it fixed my idle

 

did u clean the port area of all the old gasket. it has to be 100% perfect or it will not seal right at all. even a scratch can make a small leak

It is not his IACV. He eliminated that possibility when he sealed the throttle body with his hand.

 

it may have had a little of the old gaket left on, i dont remeber, thats probely what it is

 

yeah, anything that will make it not flush will mess with it.

 

that or youve got a vacuum line running to the wrong place (thats what i did) and had the same idle results

That is the same problem I had when I didn't scrape off the old gasket that had crusted itself to the head and manifold. Scrape it off the best you can and that should fix the leak. The air is coming in between the head and manifold.

A simple vacuum leak will only give you a bouncy idle about 750 rpms higher than spec.

 

I hear a trick to find vacuum leaks is to spray brake or carb cleaner on the suspected area and start the car, if it sucks the cleaner in you found your leak
