No, when spraying in the area the RPM should raise, if it does-you have a leak, usually not a loose bolt problem, more of a bad/improperly seated or missing gasket problem, is it possible something is pinched between the spacer and the T.B.? Is it possible something is contacting the spacer/t.b. that is not allowing it to seat properly? Maybe snap some pics of the install for us.

alright guys i just got it figured out what i was doing wrong... i was mounting the extensions for the cables improperly because when i put the brackets on the throttel linkage would have a gap between the idle adjuster and the linkage.. so i made sure the linkage is touching the idle adjuster now so the car idles at in between 1000 and 500 so now when i hit the gas the car no longer sputters to shut off..

So it was a linkage problem then? It should idle between 6-800rpm. Glad to hear it's fixed.

i had a similar problem

i installed the intake and Tb spacer kit a few weeks ago i found the linkage extention brackets are alittle mickey moused for my liking and now my cold air intake hits the strut tower because everything is offset 1". everything is moved over as far as it can go (CAI) so i might keep the intake spacer and dump the TB spacer. when i changed my TB i ported the outa my upper intake anyway so i dont think ill need it.
