probably need to reset your TPS.

thats more than just turning a screw :)

There may be a how-to somewhere, but I dont have the procedure for the SOHC.

It requires jumping GND to TEN in diag mode and using a gap gauge between the stop screw on the v6. maybe similar for the SOHC. maybe others can chime in that have done it.
