Bbk tb sticking

[Silver05]

Well I didn't disconnect the battery , but I disconnected the pcm(all3) the tps,iac, & iat, waited about half hour while I ran and grabbed some beer, and plugged everything back up and I turned the key on and did the pedal thing 3 times, started it and let it idle for about 5 minutes , but since I was drinking I didn't want to drive it so we will see how it does tomorrow

I have another dodge, trust me twisting the plunger will screw it up !

Yeah, never pull or push on that plunger on the iAC, once you do that thing its toast and you'll need a new one period.

Who wants to tell JTSVP his instructions that come with his throttle body is wrong.

Here is an older post where he explains the process. He also states in one of the posts, that this process is in his instructions.

OP isnt using a JTS TB though. I still dont recommend that as you can strip the gear in the IAC by pulling it. Ive destroyed one doing that. It would no longer retract back in.

OP what rpms is your idle sticking at? I have a BBK and mine was sticking at 1200 rpm occasionally. I changed out the IAC and TPS at the same time and adjusted the TB screw on the BBK (its on the driverside where the linkange connects uses a T15 torx, turned it clockwise just a lil). Sticky throttle is gone now.

What all did you do, there have been few suggestions. Do you still have your stock throttle body?

 

[Silver05]

I do , and when reinstall it I have no issues

Can you just get a new spring from them? Or are you saying the bbk spring is week in general?

 

[Silver05]

What if , I take the spring off my stock one ?

 

[Silver05]

Could this be an issue ?

 

[Silver05]

Well I changed that line and it still continues , I've moved the idle screw up down , if I move it by hand it goes down , so yes the spring is weak

Can you get another rotation out of the spring? Or have you tried to run the truck with out any of the linkage hooked up? It could be a cable issue if you can grab the lever and get it idle down or that spring isnt tight enough.

I drove for about 10 minutes after installing the subs and it seemed to work good, we will see tomorrow

 

[Silver05]

Well guys , after driving it for a few days the issue has gone away, it was a bad vacuum line under the TB ! Thanks for the help !

 

[Chewbacca]

Had a similar issue. Did all the above.
Ended up being a vacuum leak, cracked 5/16 hose under under the intake manifold.

Winner!

 

[Silver05]

For some reason, with the stock tb it wasn't doing it, I believe the nipple is bigger on the bbk which is why it was only doing it with that tb

 

[Kopack_05]

Glad you found it. It looks like you've been busy.

It is, I remember catching hell trying to slide that hose over over the BBK nipple. Think I had to use motor oil to lube it up and ram it up in there without tearing it. I tried to be gentle but sometimes you just have to use force.
