Took my TB and EGR spacer off to clean them. Now the Idle is about 300 RPM high. Can't see/hear a vacuum leak. All bolts are tight. Tightened and regreased the "trash can" connectors on the back of the intake. Checked the connections and cleaned the IAB valve. Still the same.

What's up? [Confused]

When ever you take off the TPS and/or throttle body off, you should reset your idle screw and TPS setting.

HAD THAT PROBLEM ONCE. I USED AN IDLE AIR ADJUSTER WHICH IS MOUNTED BETWEEN THE THROTTLE BODY AND THE AIR BYPASS VALVE. YOU CAN BUY ONE FROM FORD.
