what year is your car? don't the 98's and 99's have a different tb cam?

and i bought a ported tb that had been drilled out for a bigger cam and had almost the same problem, but not as extreme. i put in my stock blade and that helped a lot. then i adjusted the blade to make sure it was even on all sides and swapped back in my stock sensors(came with new ones) and that fixed it all.

I think that is your problem, and I would try plugging them. I will be easy and cheap to try.

uh... duh??? stock only has one hole, but some people drill them out to make them bigger or add another if they have a huge cam, so it idles better. its a cheap fix when you dont have a good tune.
