1990 L98. Hi, I just cleaned out my EGR(fun job!) And now ive got a higher rev going on. Eating more fuel and seems like a sticky throttle cable. Ant ideas. Throttle cable doesnt seem to be restricted in any way

Since you have had the intake apart, first order of business is a check of manifold vac., IMO.

Did you use any kind of cleaner on the intake?

Simce I put it all back together its falling into gear hard sometimes. I suspect the high idle has all to do with that. I took upper plenum off ith throttle cables still attached
Did I miss something putting ot back together

Did you connect the large vacuum line under the plenum and small one under the TB?

You may have stretched/misadjusted the kickdown cable. Try resetting it per the FSM.

Also, would this cause engine to run hotter than normal?

No, that is not related. Check your radiator for debris/plastic bags or other junk in the radiator.

How hot is hotter than normal?
