I flipped it so that the square hole was down... if it was up, car would just race to the redline since air could bypass the TB.
After doing a bit of digging today during lunch, I noticed a small vacuum leak coming from the area of the EGR (probly the missing bolt). I also unplugged the IAC valve, and now it just dies while driving (so I have to 3 foot it ), but it's better than sitting at a light doing 2500RPM.
So I'm going to assume that I fubared the IAC valve when I cleaned it... Guess I'll order a new one along with the missing/broken bolts to complete the job.
I really wish I had a 2nd car to drive so I can park the SVT and work on it...
