    TP should stay steady at whatever throttle position is at...

    so either the throttle butterfly shaft is moving or there is a wiring problem.

    thanks joecar for the reply
    the throttle body seems fine and have went through a log from the previous cam that was updated to suit the ported heads i put on about 2-3 weeks before this new cam is it possible is might have something to do with the size of this new cam or something i have not done right in the tune

    If it's DBW, then I have seen manifold vacuum pull on the butterfly plate.

    It is dbw if it is vacuum related is there a way to fix it. I will post a log file when I get home if you are happy to have a look
