Car wont Idle at Cold start After TB Port Hey guys well here is the story of what happened.
Ported the TB I used Epoxy and 2 pipes to leave a hole. Then my buddy knife edged the Thorttle Blade and screwed it up so it didn't have a perfect seal the car would Idle at like 2k
I drove it back home like this and parked it intell I found a TB blade off a 99 Trans Am. BTW I have an 02 SS motor in my car. So I stick the 99 throttle blade in my car and Idle is jumping around 500-1200 and it sometimes dies when its a Cold start I have to keep giving it some gas. So when the car warms up I have a steady idle at 1k like my tuner set it to be. But as soon as it cools down a bit I get that crappy idle that makes it wana **** off. What could it be?
I did search but came up empty handed.
PS. It idled perfect before this porting I did

Look at where the blade stop rests when it's in idle position. Theres a set screw that comes in from the bottom. Considering you epoxy'd the holes, you probably didn't leave a big enough hole.
I've seen that epoxy fall off and get lodged in an intake runner on the head, not a good idea. It's been proven not to be worth a **** either. Bo White confirmed (LS1 TB porter extrordinaire).
