What exact "mod" to the TB did you do and what plugins did you switch?

See, I know very little about the 5.9 but HammerZ71 or someone else might can help.

Posting pics can always help also

i switched the old sensor and the car wouldnt start would just stall i would have to rev it so i put in the newer sensor and same thing so i reved it while in neutral and it sputtered but ran took it around the block felt like longer shifts were happening

would one of the throttle cables or something get more play in it then before thats why it stalled with out reving?
