Default I Really Need Help

Okay, I've been trying to work out a few problems on my supercharged z6
it has an iritac idle which I tried to fix earlier (https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=1904264) but no luck, now i messed with the screw on the throttle body, then the car gave code 3, which I haven't been gettingbefore, then I turned the screw all the way inward and the code went away, but now the car dies 5 seconds after it starts? If I give it gas it stays alive, but once I take my foot of the gas it dies, I installed the map controller for the supercharger earlier today, but it ran fine then, still with the eratic idle.

I would appreciate any kind of help possible

Thanks

You need to tow your car to a skilled mechanic. Things just keep going wrong.

Well, what is the hole from? Did you forget a sensor, or did you remove a vacuum nipple?

as long as you didnt miss a sensor or anything, covering the hole should be fine.

its the fast idle valve under your throttle body. its stuck open or close. take it out and adjust it or replace it with another one. it has 3 10mm bolts holding it on. its right under the throttle body. i think thats the problem

okay ill go try that now and let you know, if I replaced the throttle body would that work? Also why would the car just start dieing on me 5 seconds after it starts?

I figured out why the car was dying, the ecu wasn't grounded....
but I took the throttle body off, my friend has an F22 throttle body, will this work? it has a map sensor that mounts to the firewall I think. I could also get my hans on a B-series throttle body if necessary. What should I go with? I also think the problem is in the TPS sensor because when I unplugged it, the car ran better almost...

You dont need a new throttle body. For starters cover up that hole in your throttle body that is most likley causing a vaccum leak. Second check your fast idle valve. To do this:
1. Locate the 2 screws on the back of the throttle body(should be the only 2 there)
2. Completley remove one screw
3. Losen the other screw.
4. Swing the now open plate out of the way.
5. Tightent he disc located inside.
6. Put back together.

I can't take it off, its like threaded instead of having a screw, there is just a metal stub sticking out on both sides. Its no problem for me to get another throttle body, hopefully that will solve my problem
