Default Throttle body holes

So i was installing a blox intake manifold on my 94 gsr. Me and a friend were looking through everything and we saw that the throttle body had two holes on the inside. it was covered up with some aluminum foil sticky.

So my question is that is it so suppose to be like this?, b/c my idle is really low like 400 rpms

Ah, new information that you did not post in your original thread; I stumbled on this post by accident.

That throttle body has two holes in it, and BOTH appear to be covered by that stupid tape. The tape is NOT supposed to be there. Remove it from both holes, then follow the instructions I just gave in your original thread.

It also looks like that tape is extending under the throttle plate. If so, it may be binding the plate, or preventing it from going fully-home.

You really have to wonder what the installer of that tape was trying to do by putting it there. Hiding some kind of problem?
