Ported throttle body issues
I purchased a ported throttle body from a forum member and just installed it. I haven't tried driving the car, just started it to check for leaks, and make sure it idles, etc.
When you first start the car, the rpms will shoot up to a little over 2000 then settle down to normal (in the 800's) and will idle essentially fine. When the fan kicks on or off, it will repeat that process once again.
Is this something the car will eventually "learn" and self correct, or something that can be corrected in the tune? I am going to be having 06 Monte of Diablosport do a tune for me, but that is remote and he won't be able to physically be with the car...I don't want to have to get a $500 dyno tune for a ported throttle body
Anyone else face this issue and get a solution?

Needless to say this thing will be coming off. $125 lesson learned and the last used part I put on the Z.
