is there a way to fix this without spending the $65 for get a new one? someone told me to make a plate and block it off and i was wondering what that will do to my cold start idle? any help will you apprecatied

 

if it is leaking(jumpy idle), adjust it and glue it in place

 

hopefully the pics work...........

Remove plate, don't loose the o-ring (7 mm heads)



Turn clock wise.........



If your good, you can do this without removing the TB from the car. Since running ES motor mount inserts I have to do this about once a year.

 

take that ---- off... fill holes with jb weld...sand smooth and your good to go

 

if i do that what is my cold idle going to be?

 

like ----

 

i have tape covering the holes in the mani where the FITV goes, its fine after about 5min

 

plugging it will work but expect super low/crap/---- idle before your engine warms up. the car is basicly NOT drivable before it warms up coz it would stall in any minute

 

That is a major issue here in Ohio.

Mid week it could 75-80, you could get by without the FITV........but then 30-35 on the weekend with snow.........you ain't going nowhere until car warms up!

 

get fix i took it off and turned it in and now there is no surge. i do idle at 1k when cold but that is not bad at all. thanks alot guys.
