high idle with ribbon delete on VXR

[rosey]

2012 VXR has a high idle. I bypassed the exhaust resonator and put in an R&D ribbon delete. Now it is idleing really high. I can live with this but would like to get the idle back down to normal. What am I missing?
Any suggestions?
I have searched and cannot find a solution to my problem. Sorry if it has already been answered on another post.

Cheers

Probably a vacuum leak check the gasket if you put it in.

THanks, I talked to the R&D guy. He said there should not be a change in idle with the ribbon delete. Maybe I pulled a hose loose or something but I am typically pretty careful about all of that. I will check it tonight. Thanks for the heads up.
Sure makes it hard and scary to trailer when Idle is at 3mph. lol.

+1. Make sure the small square black gasket did not fall down in the bottom of the ski. If I'm not mistaken it goes between the throttle body & intake. Removing the ribbon does not usually cause ideling issues.

According to the Service manual there is not a gasket at the throttle body. I do not recall seeing one either. The Joint (6) has a rubber coating on it that appeared to work as a gasket.

I forgot to add that I did drill out more ports in the back of the air filter case to allow more air and re-routed the ventilation hoses so they vent directly under the air filter case. Maybe all this fresh air changed the idle. I will be definately be tinkering with it tonight but welcome any ideas.

Rosey, not sure why there would be a difference but on the microfishe drawing for my N/A HO 1.8 it shows the gasket I was referring to behind #1 -Throttle body & # 11 - spacer. That's the one that is fairly easy to lose track of. Good luck !!!

What is your rpms? My will be at 3 mph with no throttle applied. Does the throttle response seems worse then new? If not I doubt you have a vacuum leak.

The number 6 is the gasket basically. At least on mine it was attached to another piece, unless you mean something else.

Well now I am stumped! I removed throttle body cleaned all surfaces and put back together. It appears to be idling normally now. I am thinking some of the thread lock that had dripped on the rubber gasket surface may have caused a vacuum leak. Thanks for the help y'all.

On the factory gauge it is at 1k RPM now and sounds normal. This past weekend i did not pay attention but from the sound tonight, I think it was closer to 1.5 to 2k RPM when out on the Bay.
I will get it on the water this weekend and make sure.

Stock idle on these are 1300 +/- 100 RPM's. Says so right on the motor

Probably had a manifold leak
