1250 rpm is too high.

Check the TB cable, it might be snagged or not in the right position. Although I don't know why it would have been touched during install. But that's the only thing I can think of.

adjust these, there should be no tension on the cable closest to the engine/ the one that goes across the radiator





adjust the tension by loosening the srews and making sure that there is not any tension on that. what happened to me is the cable was pulling back on the TB and not letting it close all the way giving me a high idle, 2500 rpm for me. the other cable is the foot control to teh gas petal, check that too.

LOL jk, glad it worked out

lol thanks everyone who said check the tb cable. btw, how does your guy's cai sound? my sounds way different than i thought it would sound. before on my legend, i had a short ram and it sounded completely different. i know its a different intake system but still, sounds kinda funny to me. when i am about to press the gas before wot, its almost like a screeching sound. any inputs?
