Throttle body and Intake plenum problems!!

i have a 2000 Mustang GT i just recently installed a 75mm throttle body and upper intake plenum (both Power Products) the only reason i picked these 2 is because they were on craigs list cheap, so i couldn't pass them up, but anyways...i have been having problems with bad idling (700 rpms down to 500rpms and then back up to around 1000) and then it would stall..i would come to a stop and my car would just die...i put a new idle control valve on and that still hasn't fixed the problem...my next step was to go ahead and replace the throttle control sensor to see if that would do anything...any other suggestion please let me know before i take these two off and sell them and just put the stock back on..another question is what are the barbed fittings that come with the upper intake plenum for?.. should i try using the bigger sized one?

still need to let the computer adapt.the mix is controlled in cells.which is better understood as events,stopping from high speed is not the same event of stopping from normal speed.takes a few different trips,driven slow,normal,fast,to let the computer adapt,so if is driving ok at regular speeds and then,all the sudden,it's stall while stopping from high speed at the first drives,it is not a biggie.start it up again and let it eat.this is all making sure there is no vacuum leaks,(hoses disconnected,bolts torqued uneven,teared or broken gaskets),electrical connectors disconnected or incorrect idle screw adjustment.differs with the engine,there is no written specs.with the iac disconnected try to reach minimun engine speed without surging or stalling,move the screw slowly.the last is to adjust the idle screw.rev the engine in betwen adjustments.then when you get it right, find the next chevy and beat him up.:bigthumbsup
