I've been dealing with an idle issue for the longest time. Well I think It's fixed. WOOOOT. heres a little how to on how i did it.

1st grab a beer lol.

disconect the intake pipe

remove the throttle cable and 4 12mm bolts/nuts that hold the tb on. Remove tb assembly

remove vacuum hoses

Remove pcv hose

Disconect the 2 electrical connections going to te vic and fuel pressure solonoids

Remove all these 12mm bolts/nuts. There is also 4 12mm bolts on the bottom half that you have to remove to get the top half off.

also remove this bracket while you're down there getting thos bottom intake manni bolts off. It's right by the starter.

Grab another

to get the top half free you must remove these 2 coolant lines.

Now that the top half is off remove the bottom half 12mm nuts. The bottom ones are a b****. I used a 6inch and 3inch extention to reach the bottom ones.

Now that all that is out of the way tak the old gasket out and drop a new one in.

Just a shot of what you should be looking at when the intake manni is out. I never relized how much of a cluster fk it was behind there.

The rest of the prossess is just taking some cleaner(I used brake cleaner) and cleaning the inside out. Installation is reverse of removal.


I had an idle issue for months and now with a cut bottom half and a very clean intake manni with new gaskets it idles like this.
COLD

warmed up

Grab another. You're done.
