I bought the Accufab t/b for 96-98 cobras and put it on and it won't idle or drive right at all unless im driving 3,000rpms or above. Whats up with that? I checked all the vacuum lines and everything was properly installed. When I first start it, it starts and idles fine but if you give it gas it dies unless you stay on the throttle. A guy on corral told me the tps needs recalibrated. ANyone know anything about this or if that is what I need to do??? I thought maybe the chip needed to be tuned to it? Is that what I have to do to recalibrated the tps? Let me know if you guys have any info or experience with this problem. Also my car is supercharged if that matters....im not sure but accufab is claming 25 RWHP with this t/b bolt on....to bad i cant get it to run right.

I have the same thing, Accufab on a 98 cobra. I just had a chip tuned for the car and now it runs great.

You definitely need to calibrate the TPS. You'll need a multimeter to set it properly, and there are a number of write-ups all over the internet to show you how to do it.
