I have looked everywhere but cant find a pic of the completed routing of vacuum lines and stuff. I had a race shop do mine but not to sure if they did it right as Im the only MSP they work on and they dont know much about the car or VICS/VTCS

Im am going to try to explain how its put together now....

There are two solenoids that are both still wired in. A green plug and white plug. There is a vacuum line connecting the 2 with a t-shape connector going to nothing. Another vacuum line is coming of the top or the IM going to another solenoid then vacuum going to what looks like fuel rail or some type of actuator.

If this makes no sense sorry but a pic would say a thousand words

If someone could post a pic I would appreciate it. Thanks Guys
 
I'll take a pic of mine in a minute. I still have the 2 sensors plugged in, but the 4 vac ports (2 on each) are just capped. There should be nothing ran off of those if you no longer have the valves inside the manifold. If the lines aren't capped, but ran from one to the other, it shouldn't make a difference bc they are not operating anything.

I'll take a pic very shortly, can you do the same?

+1 on everything he said. Just cap them and leave them plugged in so you don't get a CEL.
 
Here is at least one pic(camera phone) got a better pic, just trying to download

Thanks.

Ill try to get a pic of mine up tonight. its basically the same tho. Im just having some trouble with starting the car after it sits for a few hours. im thinking this might be a combo of mods/no tuning making it run very very rich.
 
which one controls the large butterflies for top end green or white?
 
im wondering can i cap that butterflie and get it to open at boost and not at 5500rpms?
 
Tc is probably throttlr control ic is idle control ok thanks ill let you guys know what i find out.
 
Dude your right... I decided to look at my manual and was like dam imlooking like a dum ass..lol
 
And its the vics that turns on at 5250 rpms vtcs thats for cold starts.
