need to clean you idle air control valve ( i think thats what its called ) its located under the t/b has a hose going into it and coming out from the intake and going back into it, there are 2 lil screws that you will have to take off and then adjust the white cap, in or out, till it idles better

You didn't clean off the old gasket and/or tighten down the throttle body correctly and evenly. Or you didn't install the new gasket properly.

did you check to see if your throttle plate is closing completely? if not, adjust the throttle cable by giving it a little slack.

ok i went through all that and the solution was the gasket..the hole on the gaskets that came with the spacer were way bigger than the oem gasket..that sucked..i hate spacers!
