    can i block this hole in the throttle body? it seems to suck air in
    that causes the up and down idle at 1100-1500rpm
    I also tried to short the T connector and it was idled at 1500rpm...
    When closed it off iwth my finger and seemed to idle fine but not sure wats its for?

    Man its there so the motor can breathe when the throttle is shut... ie: idle.... its pretty essential I believe... Ive heard of people making the hole smaller with a drilled out tire valve cap, to drop the idle a little...

    the one you have circled goes to the idle control motor. used for a/c and engine load

    the lower one on the right is for base idle and can be adjusted. this is the one you want to change. it has a screw in a hole that is accesible from the top. turning this will adjust the idle.

    the upper hole goes straight through and is to stoop the engine from stalling.

    adjust the screw, give the car a few revs and see where the idle goes. keep adjusting it till the idle is good.

    i have tried adjusting with the screw and it does nothing.
