That's better -

Might be the Throttle cable or bad MAF.

Did you disconnect the battery thru the entire process?

Did you remove the throttle plate?

Did you replace ALL gaskets ?

Did you follow all instructions/procedures from this site?

Wait a minute. Did you remove your throttle body spacer? If so, you have to reset the linkage.

Send a message via Yahoo to tarajerame
he probably removed his worthless TB spacer but didn't remove the bracket that holds the TB cable out further
