Someone was kind enough to sell me a throttle body but now that I've fitted it its over reving! When I'm stopped it ticks over at around 1k but when driving the revs just wanna stay at 3000. We've tried calibrating but it just wants to stay at 19%. Any suggestions how to fix the over reving?
Thanks in advance

There are 2 gen4 throttle bodies. One with silver blade and one with bronze blade
Internals are different between them. You need the right one smile
The earlier model most likely which is silver.

check the part number matches.
Then check you bolted it up ok with nothing knocked off the intake, like PCV pipes etc

Didn't check part number, but I've checked all the connections and its all looks good. Seeing as it's constantly high reving and it didn't do that with the old one my guess is that it's one of those rare cases where the part is faulty. Gonna get a garage to take a proper look at it and see what they say

Re-set the Throttle position sensor?

Tried everything and it didn't help. Thanks anyway. Oh well, I'll figure something out
