Shiroelex said:Don't do both! It'll probably stall then. Just adjust the set screw while the TB is in your hands, to where the blades just seal the hole up. I'd do that first, since that's how it's supposed to be. If it still idles high after that, hen look into sealing the hole, which did actually look a tad big to me.
svttech76 said:The reason I am telling him to plug the hole is, somebody went nuts porting this TB and there is air gaps at the top and bottom of the throttle bore with the blade fully closed.
If those air gaps cant be closed he will have to either fill the hole and try to bring down the amount of air bypassing the throttle blade or get a new TB
UDTBadkarma said:SVT, no no no. The T/B was NEVER ported. Onlythe plenum was. I JB welded the hole in the t/b blade and i backed the t/b set-screw off. There is no gaps now at all around the blade and it closes nice and flush without sticking.
svttech76 said:look at the pics of the other ford 70mm it does not look the same as yours to me. yours looks ported. if you got the blade flush then open the hole back up. I thought you could not get the blade flush
I just looked at the pics again. LOOK at the ridge before the throttle blade on the other throttle body compared to the pic of yours. I still think yours has been ported.
UDTBadkarma said:Well after porting and polishing my own plenum, i know what a P&P metal looks like, and the 70mm T/b def looks factory. But anyway. I closed the t/b blade closed by turning the set-screw (that you techincally arne't supposed to touch).Anyway, i will leave the hole in the t/b blade closed for the time being, i am going outside now to install the newly modified P&P plenum back on the car with the 70mm t/b and see what happens. If it still runs wierd, i'll open the hole back up.
SVTTECH, check your PMs, i sent you something off topic to this. but wanted your input
UDTBadkarma said:TPS volatage is still at .98v. And it idles at 750rpm.
Anything wrong with it idleing a tiny bit low? Car sure is quiet now, even with the slp lol (at idle anyway)
svttech76 said:get the jb weld off there. now that you have the throttle blade flush you don't need that hole pluged.

UDTBadkarma said:Why bother? the car is running good for now
What if i take it off and the rpms hang again, then i'll have to do that all over. If its not broken dont fix it right? So whats so important about the small t/b blade hole?
