    did you clean your TB? Do that first. Then if it still does it there is a reflash available.

    id be carfull about drilling extra holes, not sayin you cant, in tb. if you drill too big youll idle at an rpm you dont want to, plus once you drill its kinda hard to fix if you mess it up. its probably your idle sensor. Clean it and if that doesnt work, if it were mine, id reset the vcm. or call Allen at Nelson performance, he can fix ya up with a custom tune. drill
    if you have to drill(last resort) take the throttle body off before you do, then make sure no shavings are in it before you put it back on.
    also check your air filter, fuel filter, and plug wires. might be one of those.

    if you use a k&n filter it might have put oil on the MAF, that also could cause the idle problem.
