Yes, the whole intake must be removed and all accessories that are attached to it so you can really dowse it with carberator cleaner.

Did any of you ever take the rear panel/hatch panel off? I can get it to be somewhat loose, removed the speaker covers, unbolted the seatbelt and took out the screw behind the little cover next to the back seat area, but something is holding it pretty tight. I don' t want to just tear the...

Cleaning your intake is probably the single best task you can perform to guarantee a good smooth running engine. Here's what is happening. When your engine is cold, the fast idle valve is open, allowing for a large volume of air to mix with a richer fuel delivery based on temperature sensor...

Remove your intake manifold and clean the intake runners just before your injectors. The symptom you describe is classic sludge in the intake system. Once warmed up, the high idle goes down, and your intake velocity is not high enough to compensate for the poor airflow past your injectors...

The bottom hose is a drain. There should never be vacuum there. If you fixed the modulator, and there is vacuum to the top port, your transmission is likely just tired. Remember that the reason why your modulator was jammed up is because there is debris floating around in there causing the...

Nice. Where did you get your ecu, and how much was it? I would like to get my hands on your old ecu maybe, to check it out. I mess around with component level repair, and maybe I can learn something from that and help you guys repair your ecus.
