Question Airraid TBS Problems
after installing my throttle body spacer my truck runs rough. especially at idle and it sumbles and dies after a while. now the "service engine" light came on. has anybody had this problem before? im gonna re-do it tomorrow and see if i missed something but im pretty sure i did it right.

btw i have the 4.2 if it helps

You probably have a leak somewhere when you installed it.

Hate to tell you but those things are the biggest waste of money....no gains to be made there.
