What's your setup? Engine, throttle body (wire or cable?), any other mods?

You answered your own question. It's the tune.

Have some one that knows what they are doing make the proper adjustments.

wait, you fluid checked the throttle body and then decided to drill a hole? Does that mean it passed absolutely no fluid when closed? I don't know how that's possible with a functioning throttle body. You need to step back and provide more details, but sounds like there may be a possibility your clearance is so tight the blade can't close when you let off the throttle.

But I'm just stabbing in the dark, you need to step back and provide details on the car, motor, symptoms, etc for this to be a helpful conversation.

Drilling the blade is such a no no. The right tuner can get it all ironed out without any of those things done. Your fighting a loosing battle with IAC counts when you start doing that stuff. Just my knowledge....

Depending on whether its GEN 3 or 4 that hole is just another hurdle. Gen 3 will be fighting the IAC with that hole. Too much air and you will have trouble getting the throttle to idle down. Your issue is definitely the tune file. I would love to help you but I don't exactly understand what you are describing, nor do we know what ECU you are running.
