throttle stuck open? check the cable next to your runners and make sure its not hung up in a bad position cause thatll effect it. make sure its run in the factory route.

Maybe the IAC and ECM needs to relearn the idle from being disconnected?

you dont need bigger lines, just look for ones you may have broke of left off and double check the gaskets you installed on the runners

Re: i just installe slp runners when i start carrevs all the way up

did you install this on the 91 Z28 thats in your profile? if so, did you get the later style runners? if you installed the pre-89 style you need to put a freeze plug in the little tube on the drivers side runner. i learned that the hard way some years ago.
