Hole in throttle plate?

Art, if it idles down to 800, why do you need to plug holes in the throttle blades?

This is the single throttle body, not the ITB's. The ITB's idle fine with no holes
I didn't put the hole in the throttle plate. I bought the caravan manifold with the throttle body on it.

there is a kit from ford that has a bunch of plugs and a tool to install them. i have it at work. when i get back from vegas on the 29th i can send you some of the plugs if you would like.

Okay Thanks. I'm going to try to get another throttle plate. But I'm not sure which throttle body it is. I was told it was 70mm but it's more like 62mm. But what can you expect from someone the modifies a DodgeCaravan manifold. LOL
