Messed with my car today i was able to finally get it to descent without stalling 1000/1200 rpms and car pulls so much better now,problem was small vacuum leak and some tweaks to MAF Translator,cant wait to see how the car will work on SD
If anyone is looking for some wheels/tires i want to get rid of my 18" ACR's ,Good tires and 5th Spare same wheel...Looking for 15's so i can wrap them in Drag radials also need 5 lug conversion,can anyone tell me exacly what i need and if i can buy it new from Rock auto parts/?

Just had a look over the outside of your TB in your photos.

Appears there was no wire attached to the idle stop switch - single prong without a wire.
There should be a right angle tab/strap that connects one of the TB bolts/nuts at the top, to a small phillips head screw on the TB (likely the only small threaded hole on top of the TB).
Also, as a good measure, installing the missing rubber cap onto the BISS screw (idle air bypass screw) helps things just in case.
While you are there, refreshing the O-ring for the BISS, and replacing the TB seals with new high boost models will do just the trick.
