I'm a new member, and want /need to pick someone's brain here.

this mule was not running very well. Idling rough and appeared to be flooding.

After reading as much as I could, I decided to buy and install a new throttle body. I installed the new throttle body today and it runs good up the road, but I can't get the thing to idle. 

when first cranked, the engine goes to wide open even though the throttle is in the rest mode.

It never did this with the old throttle body. 

Is a new throttle body plug and play, or does it need to be programmed ?, Or, is there something wrong with this new throttle body ?

Any in site to my problem  is greatly appreciated

Welcome to the forum!

Travis is absolutely correct about the manual. And as to your problem, it's possibly a sensor issue. Specifically, what would be a throttle position sensor. Although I have no idea what it's called on the mule. But it tells the throttle body how much gas, and air it needs. 

I say possibly, because it could easily be a combination of problems causing the issue. Or a wiring problem. Since i'm assuming that it's likely CPU controlled, you'll need to find the trouble codes.

Mine was doing the same thing and I pulled the fuel pump and below it was a gummed up fuel filter.  Changing it out corrected the problem.  It now runs and idles fine.  I bought a bunch of filters off amazon but understand there is a larger aftermarket filter available.  Anyone know where to get it?

      I heard there's several off road festivals out that way. One or two post apocalyptic, the rest just rev and run. Anyone know a good one that offers camping? Any advice for out of state people like hauling, legality, and where to stay?
      Ideally me and the missus would be down for camping out and setting up shop somewhere nearby. That way we can just wake up, load up, and ride.

      I just purchased a Massimo MSU500 and no manual came with it so I have some questions. looking for part #'s and availability of basics like spark plug air and fuel filter. What is the valve adjustment specifications? 
        Is there a fuel drain? It's been sitting, low mileage but I want to drain out the old fuel and put fresh.

      2019 Cub Cadet Challenger 400, trailer to transport the Challenger, and new, never used winch for sale
      By RBonds007
      I bought this SxS brand new.  A couple of years after I bought it, I became disabled.  Thus it has only 47 miles and around 16 hours of use.  I have no need to keep the SxS.  I am in Foley, Alabama.  It is very hard for me to get in out of the Challenger.  I would like to sell the set, 2019 Challenger 400, trailer and uninstalled winch (this was bought brand new as well, someone was supposed to help this newbie install and we never got around to doing this). I want  $6500 for the whole set OBO (Serious offers only).
