DId you accidently allow some dust/metallic saw dusts in the tb?
open up the tb and see if it's clean or not..

Would that be the only problem? I will try to check out the throttle body tomorrow morning. I installed it in my friends garage, so i dont think they could be any dust but i will check anyways. Oh yea will a towel be ok to clean it?

Thanx for the heads up man. Just finished cleaning out the tb. Damn there was a lot of black dust in there. Hopefully that will solve the problem. Thanx again. But if it does continue, would u think it would be the filter that was causing it?

replace the hose from your valve cover with one of those ricey *** pep-boys breather caps. And then plug the nipple on the intake pipe where the hose was attached previously.
