Well, I put it back in to go get some applicators for my wax and it worked really well.
Seems I was just being a bit hastey before.
I used about a 9/32 in hole. I didn't have a drill bit so I had to use a tape measure to measure the hole. Though I did find this from a thread at the corral...
ford procedure is as follows:
1. get engine to operating tempurature. turn off ac, radio, etc.
2. disconnect IAC (idle air contol soleniod). if engine stalls turn throttle stop in one full turn and restart engine.
3. set throttle stop to desired idle speed (rpm)
4. set throttle position sensor anywhere from .96 to .99 volts. loosen the mounting screws and lightly rotate the sensor till the voltage is within range (use a mutimeter to check as your rotating). you may have to drill out the mounting holes to reach the desired range.
5. turn off engine. disconnect negative battery cable for 15-20 minutes. tap the breaks to ensure all capacitive power is lost.
this will reset the computer to factory defaults.
6. reconnect IAC. then connect battery cable.
7. restart engine and drive for about 15 minutes so the computer can relearn any settings that have been changed since factory.
8. if problem persists, inspect for mas air meter problems and possible vacuum leaks.
you may have to perform this procedure a couple times till the rev down is correct.
the first time i did this my engine would take about 7 seconds to rev down from 2000 rpm. this was due to the throttle position sensor being out of time(range). careful when tightening the screws back down because it will want to rotate in that direction.
also i was told that when you disconnect the solenoid harness and if the car dies, this is a dead give away that your throttle is not set right.
a quick check also is to turn the key to the on position but not starting the engine. then check your voltage on the tps.

I think I might try is some time.
