wont idle Ok so I just finished installing my torquer v2. On first start it idled great, we let it sit for a while and it was running fine then as I went to drive it I put in in gear and let off the clutch then it began to die. Now the car wont idle I have to stay on the gas a little to keep it from turning off is this normal?

a car will usually idle smoother/lower after its warmed up and in closed loop.. when you first stared it, it was in open loop, cold and idling in higher. it dies cus of a few things but mainly cus its not getting enough air at low rpms to stay alive.
tune fixes it.

If i do the drill mod to the throttle plate will that help it stay on just so it gets enough air to drive it for now? Its really a pain to have to keep giving it gas and riding the clutch out so it wont die.
