hole in my throttle body blade Can having two very large holes in my throttle body blade be causing my rpms to stay high coasting? I plugged the hole temporarily and they dropped to where they should be, but when I went to stop it tried to stall and I had to tap the gas to keep it running. Then on the way back to the house the rpms were staying around 1500-2000.

you shouldnt need those holes drilled in the blade. tuners used to do that to help with idle tuning, but a lot of the better tuners are capable of tuning without "damaging" the blades. and dependent on your current tune, those holes could be whats hurting you.

Yeah there's no reason to drill the TB blades anymore. If your tuner suggests this he's either lazy or ignorant to the new tuning software available and I would find another shop.
