Ported TB and Epoxied holes, now car won't idle? I used JB weld to cover the holes and put in tubes to keep air flowing, and ported with a dremel. When I start the car though, it idles at like 500 rpms, barely. Sounds good with the cam but isn't driveable. I drilled out the hole a little bit and it helped a little but not enough. Any ideas? THanks

Re: Ported TB and Epoxied holes, now car won't idle? you need to make sure theres enough air getting through the top two holes. the one on the right (i think) feeds air to the IAC. keep drilling them out (not the hole in the blade) until it idles better....then work with the blade hole till you get IAC counts in the 30-40 range.
