Accufab TB

Anyone had issues with these sticking open a little bit after a bunch of WOT runs? I sometimes have my idle stick at 1500-1800 RPMs for a while after making some runs in the car.

I've had a check engine light for this and replaced the Idle Air control valve and the fuel filler neck. Everytime I clear the code, it comes back within a few miles. Did a smoke test but there isn't a leak anywhere. Tried to manually mess with the TB blade opening but it still seems to stick.

I'm to the point where I'm debating buying another Accufab TB to see if it helps.

I think accufab is working on a bigger single blade TB. You might call them and see where they are at on it.

P0507 - http://www.obd-codes.com/p0507

argh basically confirms what im thinking. some kind of leak or Tb problem.

p0720
p0722

These seem to be about some tranny speed sensor. Hope all it does is cause the CEL and not any actual damage. I should probably look into that.
