Addendum:
Not to be a prick but ditto the written medium. Unless people can understand you they can't answer you.
Not just to pick on you but I can't tell you have many posts a day you have to work to figure out what the poster is trying to say. Most of the problems stem from 4th grade Language Arts class, not High School or College level English.
For instance, you used There when you meant to use They're (they are). Completely different meaning.
From dictionary.com - there
1. At or in that place: sit over there.
2. To, into, or toward that place: wouldn't go there again.
3. At that stage, moment, or point: Stop there before you make any more mistakes.
4. In that matter: I can't agree with him there.
pron.
1. Used to introduce a clause or sentence: There are numerous items. There must be another exit.
2. Used to indicate an unspecified person in direct address: Hello there.
adj.
1. Used especially for emphasis after the demonstrative pronoun that or those, or after a noun modified by the demonstrative adjective that or those: That person there ought to know the directions to town.
2. Nonstandard. Used for emphasis between a demonstrative adjective meaning

All I have to say is this is a International Board , and we cant even get everyone that lives in America has thousands of languages .
I have customers from all over the world and not all can speak English well , But I try my best not to insult them or push them away .
Maybe its the age difference ??

Maybe it is an age difference. So what? Maybe he needs to learn to grow up and interact with others in a more civilized manner. He's asking for a help. Maybe he should learn how to ask.

I try to put as much effort into my responses as the poster puts into their question.
If you don't bother to research your question or at least attempt to use decent grammatical structure you'll get nothing but ridicule from me.
I understand and respect that members of this community come from many cultures and speak many different languages. But I also note that many people from non-english speaking cultures write better than some of us for whom english is the primary language.

Can I take a stab at re-phrasing the question?
Ahem........
"I just bought and aftermarket bored out throttle body and now my idle is all screwed up. I was told I would get a hundred extra horsepower, but instead I am out a couple hundred bucks and have screwed up my idle. Can someone help me without pointing out I got taken and don't know what I am doing?"
How's that?
