Default New Cam/stalling out, drill plate?

Due to the weather here in the Northeast I installed my cam and I am having a problem with idle. Its not a massive cam 224/230 115 on manual trans. Car dies out, doesn`t seen to be learning the cam. I have read before about drilling a small hole in throttle body blade will help idle issues. Some times it idles fine and I shut it off doesn`t want to start again unless I am helping it along. Considering drilling blade HELP!

Try first by opening the TB blade a little more.
With ignition off remove the TPS sensor, turn ignition on for 30 seconds (do not start or crank, just on).
turn ignition off and replug the TPS.

This will make the PCM relearn the throttle position and help with idle issues. Might not need to drill.
Did you tune yet?

You have to open the blade via idle screw (this wasn't clear in previous post)

I knew what you ment it worked great she runs like a champion again. You are my F-ing hero saved me a tow. I let her come back up to tempature agian and shut it down started right up again little rough but it was fine. Everytime I start it up again it idles a little better. I have to keep playing a bit more this eve. I have read it takes a 100miles for the computer to total learn it so tonight she goes for a ride and next week it gets the tune. Thanks Predator saved me a headache I owe you one.
