Idle high after installing Poweraid Throttle body spacer???
I installed a Poweraid TB spacer and now my idle is up at like 1100-1200...whats with that? The two cables to the throttle body are not excessively tight or anything?? What do I need to adjust? I tried to loosen the two nuts a bit on the throttle cable but nothing changed really...I also took a 2000 mile road trip with it after I installed it thinking maybe it would self adjust, but of course no...
Any one else have this spacer in thier 5vzfe v6?? Its a 5spd.
Any help would be appreciated...

I'd remove it since they don't do anything on a direct port engine (air and fuel don't mix til in the cylinder) and why deal with the headache.
You'd get more results by adding a 5th wheel to your truck.

I dont think so, I was very careful when installing. There is the poweraid logo facing up on the spacer so visable and readable. I don't think that would be facing down hiding...when installing it also has one side that says throttle body side so there is no confusion...I am sure it is installed correctly.
It has to be the cables I am thinking...because I lost cruise control for awhile...then it came back suddenly...its tempermental now...I just dont really know how to adjust the cables...

You probably have messed up the thottle body gasket and now you have a vac leak, but I agree with everyone else...scrap it! and get a new TB gasket. Now go to your room and don't do any other mods without searching first.
Oh btw, URD sells an "O" shaped TB gasket for the 5VZFE. That mod may actually do something!

You could be having a few problems, your air/fuel ratio is now leaner than it was before from more volume in your intake causing a higher idle as your ECU has not compensated for it yet (not likely since it is so little), or you could simply have a vacuum leak, spray some water or WD40 or whatever around where your gasket is to see if the idle changes, if it does you have a leak.
