Well, the more I thought about it, the less I wanted to go to the track. I knew there was a problem with the idle/throttle, so I figured it would be no different at the track, so why spend the money to race and get pissed off again.

So I seriously considered taking off all my parts to return it to stock, with the idea that if I still get CELs then its off to the dealership for warranty service.

I started by putting my original throttle body back on. While I was at it, I added pipe clamps to the tubing joints right under the throttle body. I know they're not under significant pressure, but I figured what the hell, it won't hurt. I also checked the torque on the mani bolts. They seemed a little loose to me, so I torqued them again. I torqued them to 12 ft/lbs. I didn't want to go more because they seemed ready to snap (again).

After I got that far I decided to go for a drive and see the difference between my throttle body and the spare. Immediately I noticed that I wasn't getting the high idle RPM that I was with the spare throttle body, but I also got a P0505 again (instead of the P0507). WTF?!? Could both throttle bodies be bad? It's hard to say. Other than that the car drove fine, but didn't seem to have as snappy a response as with the spare throttle body.

I don't know. I hate to return it to stock right now, as I have a race/dyno event next weekend. But then again, whats the point of doing the race/dyno event if the car isn't running right? Ugh.
