Please help me.

This is also in the Forced Induction board, but then again I posted it there last year with no help at all....so please don't move it or lock this....someone has to have had this problem or encountered someone that it happened to or knows why its doing it because I'm at a loss.

I agree with the others and hope its not the t/b but i would go ahead and swap throttle bodies and see if thats the problem. A freind of mine had that problem and swapped t/b's and that cured it so he replace his other one he had. Good luck.

*Whew!*

When I saw that post title with your name next to it I thought you lost another crank!

Is this the same kind of problem that some people have had with 52mm Holley TB's sticking? I know with those the problem was the tolerances for throttle blade to housing clearance was too narrow and caused the blades to stick... just a thought.

Good luck man.

Pete "trax" is going to bring his down and I'll swap them then. The more I think about it and just how the car acts when it does it I kinda wonder if it isn't just how I'm driving the car.

For the most part I'm pretty smooth on and off the throttle durning shifts, now as I had stated in the other thread, the only way to get it to not do it at higher rpms is to snap the throttle shut durning shifts. What if the by pass valve was not getting the right vac. signal by just slowly lifting during shifts, there for not opening or opening all the way and keeping all of that pressure in the inlet piping. Would that be enough to just ever so slightly keep the TB from shutting completely? Because it will not really climb in RPM just hold and when the clutch is released it would not take a very large opening to get it to hold 5k RPM with no load on it. I have only got it to do it in the garage a couple times with the motor running (it will not do it shut off) and I did have to shut the TB by hand. I almost think it has to be something to do with the blower install because for the year before I got the blower, everything worked great. The only changes would be when the blower went on.

Capping the CCV line from the valve cover to the throttle body isn't going to mess with anything is it? It just has a rubber cap on the TB with a zip tie holding it on.
