Default Need help with idle issues- anyone in atlanta?

Ive had numerious issues.. Ive had the car tuned Its a MS4 cammed c5 corvette.

It will NEVER idle when you first start it, you cant just simply turn the key and it'll idle. It you must give it a little gas and it will idle from there.

Theres a small hole in the TB, drilling it didnt help my problem..

I was wanting to see if someone can have a look at the idle air values and such, so it won t have any more issues idleing.. I dont have efi live or anything or any experience..

Idle is a complex routine of managing fuel, air and spark. You can jack up one or two of the three to get it to half-*** idle during certain conditions but, the results are not pleasing. Drilling the throttlebody blade is absolutely unecessary and often goes too far resulting in a uncontrolled high idle.

This is where a realtime tuning solution really shines. We have 3 Moates Road Runners and take pride in taking the time to get drivability down pat. Jax is not that far...

Has the PCM been reflashed at all, or is it still the stock calibration? What other mods? Where in the Atlanta area are you?

its got a dynotune on it, but since then it has had trouble idling ever since.

It is just a MS4 cammed C5 corvette with TSP LT's and a catback exhaust.

Im south of ATL but i can go anywhere if need be.
