I put on a throttle body spacer and now my RPM are running very high. the RPM are also surging up and down... why is this? is there a way to adjust it or something....Please help!!!!

 

you probably have a vacuum leak, did you replace the gasket and clean off the mating surface really well?

 

Yup, it's most likely a vacuum hose that came off or is connected up wrong.

 

Yea all that is exactly what i was thinking but i looked and look and it was not any of that. anything else

 

easy solution:

take it back off.

Why?
1) You are not making any more power with that thing.

2) It probably doesn't connect all the vacuum passages correctly, which would explain your idle problems.

definitely.

and just some fyi, you cant "look" for a vacuum leak.

 

Yea thats what i did and then the car ran just right. I dont understand why its not working right because the spacer is made for my car.

 

Those throttle body turbine/spacers do NOT work.

Reason is because...yah, they "spin" the air until the air hits the plenum and goes through the runners like normal. So either way, the air hits your motor the same way it always does...meaning no change in anything, especially horsepower.

Some guy decided to create a magical part that drops your MPG and adds HP, explaining the awesome scientific ways it spins the incoming air...and could never back it up with legit dyno testing. If this crap worked, everyone would have one. Heck, car manufactures would have designed throttle bodies with these built in if that were the case.

So basically, it's a shady part. And it's very likely that this shady part that is "meant for your car" really isn't...because it's obviously causing mechanical issues.

Sell it on eBay.
