Looking for answers for a buddy who swapped out a complete engine from a 14 800 Pro into a new bare tunnel/bulkhead ..the old sled was wrecked but ran fine . .did the swap and now it's running rough .. wont idle ..or idles high when it does ..throttle is kind of weird too. .doesn't necessarily respond exactly with the press of the flipper. . .pardon my ignorance here but just seeking some input .. on a motor swap does tps automatically have to be reset? . .or is there another component that's affected in a swap that needs adjustment? . .any help is appreciated .. thanks. .

The first thing he's going to want to do is confirm that the TPS is set correctly. Also while he is there doing that he needs to make sure the throttle end gap free play is set.

^^^^^
What he said. The tps is very sensitive and could have got bumped in the swap. Also check the throttle cable for any damage.
