First off, I did search the forums, but came up with little except aftermarket TB's suck threads. So I am already aware of that point of view please don't reiterate it.
Here is the actual question. I purchased a BBK TB and I've been having some problems with it. I'm positive I've installed it correctly but the car doesn't run right. It jumps to 4000rpm on start and then settles to a high idle speed (2500rpm) and the car smokes. I haven't run it more than a few minutes because of the smoke. I followed the procedure for checking and adjusting TPS voltage (http://www.americanmuscle.com/bbk-trouble-shoot.html) but I don't get the 1.19-1.31 volts they say you should see. My TPS shows 0.63v and the car runs fine at that setting with the stock TB. The TPS also reads 0.63v with the BBK TB but doesn't run right. I'm afraid to adjust the TPS voltage up to 1.19-1.31 with the BBK as the car is already running bad and I don't want to damage the engine. Has anyone else experienced this and fixed it? What are your TPS voltages (the procedure to check it is described in the link above)? I have an early 05 model GT and I'm wondering if the TPS sensor and/or voltage settings are different on later models. I have contacted BBK and the tech seems a little stumped as to why my TPS voltage is so low and as to how to fix the problem.
