Could someone please do me a favor?

Its really a pretty simple request. All I need is for someone to take a picture of their stock throttle body blade....specfically im wanting to see how large the hole thats drilled into the blade is. OR if someone could take a drill bit or tape measure and tell me how large the whole is. I would GREATLY appreciate it .

And the reson I would like to know, is because that hole or holes is supposed to smooth the transition between idle and part throttle...my BBK TB has no holes in the blade and my cars a bit hard to drive sometimes. THANKS AGIAN!

my 00 did, but my 02 doesnt. It was probably 1/8-3/16. its not very big...What do you want this information for?

I'll do it if it stops raining.

I'd say it'd be easiest to just find one of your smallest drill bits and drill that hole into it. If that doesn't fix it, widen the hole with the next largest bit, etc etc til it fixes the issue.

Thanks guys! So your TB doesnt have a hole in it??? I could have sworn mine had one...actually 2 I believe. And thanks Dtnodya I look forward to the pic

The reason I want the hole is because my car has some pretty serious drivability issues, that I believe to be TB related. Car hesitates and bucks/jerkes at low RPM with very small or no throttle input while in gear or taking off. I have just learned how to drive around it...most of the time. But if someone else drives it, the car bucks and jerks HARD, because they arent taking measues to stop/prevent teh bucking...and it shouldnt do that. Like for instance, if I put it in 2rd gear and let the car slow down in gear...when it gets to about 1300RPM it starts to buck, and then quickly just gets worse and worse. Within a few seconds your head will be slamming back and forth lol...and just giving a little gas makes it worse because your foot gives it gas and lets of. So to stop it either A. push in the clutch B. give it 1/4-1/2 throttle or more.....either of those will stop it.
Also under very light throttle in any gear @ 1200-1600RPM the car has a miss in it...give it 1/4 throttle in that same RPM range and 100% smooth with no missing.
I think its just not getting enough air and causing a rich condition...those the holes will in theory solve my issue I just need to know how big they need to be so I dont give it too much air

EDIT: Oh and good idea dustbuster...I thought of that, but wanted to see if someone could help me out so I do it right the first time...and less chance of getting anything down the intake. And ALOT less work...its not too easy to expose my TB blade...I have to loosen a few couplers with the very long winded T bolt clamps.
