Let us know how it goes.

BTW, there are Helms manuals for download, stickied in the Tech forum.

Look in the service literature for which wire color is power on all Honduhs 85+

Look in the service literature for which wire is sensor/logic ground on all Honduhs 85+

This ---- is simple, but most people melt an IAT or blow an ECU because they are stupid.

There is no coolant sensor in your IACV circuit.

Consulting some service literature for component test flowcharts would be most rewarding at this juncture.

so i switched the edelbrock for a y8 intake mani and cleaned the iacv. it runs alot better but my engine is still shaking. i dont have a front mount cuz of traction bar.. is this normal for it to be shaking quite a bit. it idles at 1200rpm.. and it runs alot better it feels like it gained 20hp and now has like 60hp... LOL.. any suggestions?
