Just finished a throttle body conversion fom 320 to 325, everything runs lovely but the idle speed sits at around 1500. Its been for a spin to settle the ECU, but the idle hasn't changed. Anyone been here before?

Check the throttle position switch adjustment (and if it works).

I set the position switch as per the guide on the zone, and it seemed to operate as needed. How would i tell if this was incorrect?

Check that it actually works, not just clicks.
Put a resistance meter between pins 1 and 2 and check there is zero ohms between them at idle, going open circuit as the throttle moves off its stop.
