Been doing a lot of reading about tuning, particularly idle tuning and the issues related to getting a *good* stable idle. Every now and again someone brings up the idea of drilling a hole in the throttle body blade to try to resolve some idle issues.

Found an interesting quote that I wish I had known about a long while back in reference to cars with electronic throttle control (like mine). Not that I knew about the hole in the throttle body blade myself until I actually pulled off the throttle body, though....

What time is it when your tuner says to you "a small hole must be drilled in the throttle blade in order to eliminate all idling & stalling issues..."?

It is time to find a new tuner!
