Re: BBK Dual 65mm Throttle body review

Update:
It was cool and damp the past few days here in Florida with the tropical storm and all.
When driving, I noticed that the idle would hang a bit around 1200 PM and eventually fall to 800 RPM or so when the engine was at operating temperature.
I sat and figured out what it was ( I THINK)
I HAD made the IAC restrictor with 2 small (9/32" or so) holes and it occurred to me that not enough air was going through it to "feed" the IAC motor.
I went and made another IAC plate this afternoon, this time with the one "normal" size hole, and the other hole 1/8".
I started it up and the idle returned IMMEDIATELY, but went down to 500 RPM before recovering with the A/C on, and wanted to stall.
I opened up the plate to 3/16" and it seems fine now.
I'll see in the morning how it is.
I think I am at 99% now.
Hopefullyanyway.
