Did you reset the TPS(Throttle Position Sensor)?

Might have a leaky IACV, got a vac line loose somewhere.

Also might have to adjust the idle screw if it has one. I'de serisouly check the TPS first though.

switch the tps for your old one. if that doesn't work try positioning it in different ways that's how I fixed mine.

ive got a b16a TB on my skunk2 manifold on my y8 head and when i first started the motor for the first time, i had to readjust the throttle cable and then adjust the actual idle set screw.
