Default emergency question! !

So i finally got around to pulling my throttle body off and cleaning the egr ports out. After reinstalling it, my truck is ilding rough and taking way too long to come off a high idle after revving it. I have replaced the dpfe valve and had the egr professionally cleaned. I have work in the morning and really need this fixed!! Any ideas would be greatly appriciated cause im stumped.

Sounds like the flange or whatever the opening in the throttle body is. Sounds like its left open a tad even when off the gas. Idk. I have similar problem and that's what I was thinkin

i just finished replacing my intake today & have a similar problem except mine wants to skip & it seems like it has no ***** on take off along with the sound of a massive vacuum leak, im thinking either the TB its self is leaking at the base or the EGR isnt making a good seal to the TB.. looking forward to you finding an answer for your problem. Hopfully it'll help me figure mine out

Did you check your Throttle Position Sensor? I mistakenly left mine partially disconnected, and it made it run like complete crap.lol
