Default High idle after skunk2 tb install

I swapped a 97 GSR in my 94 dx coupe and maybe a week later I put in the skunk2 throttle body. Its a 60mm. Well now my car idles high, and since I have a dx no rpm gauge so I don't know how high it idles. I would guess like 4k 45k maybe. It seems the longer I drive it the higher it idles. I searched and couldn't really find anything. Everytime I typed in Skunk2 all the marketplace forums popped up.

Anyone know why its idling so high???
TIA

well u could first start by checking the screw on the TB and make sure its tightened all the way. also under the throttle cable thing(blanking on name of it) but the thing u put the throttle cable on to open the throttle with the gas peddle. anyways, theres a bolt under there u can use to adjust ur idle. check it out and lemme know what happens.

double check if all hoses are in place. my idle was rollin at 1,500+ until i plugged in my coal canister nipple hose at the IM (nearest to the TB) and it chilled out to normal.
