Question Trying to keeep her idling after H/C, any tips?

I`ve been trying a few things already,(drilled plate to 11/64th`s, Turned idle screw) and I can`t keep her Idling. Just need to keep her running to get to the shop doing my tuning. What should I try next? She`s running rich as Tiger Woods too!!

FYI, cam is a TSP 228R on a 112 LSA and I ported the throttle body myself.

if you are just trying to get to a shop, disconnect some sort of vacuum source, NOT YOUR BRAKES, and drive it there. In order to get rid of the richness, you need to bypass the mass air flow sensor with air, otherwise , it will just keep correcting for it. You could also try disconnecting the mass air sensor and drive it there on speed density, but you best be careful to watch your A/F's so it doesn't go lean.
Hope this helped. BTW, any codes you trip can be removed by the shop.

I just did a 230/224 for a friend. I drilled the TB to 13/64 and idled with no problems. Stock tune as well.

Come on Pewter, the whole car shakes, surges, and doesn't idle.

Thumbs up

Thanks for the tips guys. Yea, this thing is surging like a crazy too. What LSA is that 230/224? So 13/64th`s isn`t too big?

drill it out 1/64 at a time until it idles better...just what I've heard before, so don't quote me.
