Intake air temp. I know something is reading it because its logged in evoscan. I wonder if its built into the maf sensor. Hopefully somebody knows for sure.

U r correct. Its built into the maf

How would one clean the IAC?

Have it off right now.

I don't think IAC needs cleaning or does it??

[Laidback8g]

IAC can be cleaned very easily just by using carb cleaner and a rag (I use Q-tips at times ) just dont go crazy spraying it all over it, just remove whatever deposits have accumulated around the pintle itself, the only time I really suggest cleaning this or even messing with it is if you are having idle problems. Simple explanation is carbon that has accumulated with time doesn't let the valve open and close and wont allow the extra air into the intake manifold and the ecu to make proper corrections to adjust idle via this valve. If you need any help just let me know lol

I lost one of the two nuts that clamp down on the ends of a v6 upper intake manifold, will this cause a vacuum leak?

Also I am in the process of finding it *fingers crossed*

Edit: son of a bitch, they fell down the lower intake manifold

Sounds like its time to pull the LIM and fish it out of the head with a magnet. Hopefully you'll be able to see it.

Will throw a leak. IIRC they just regular 12mm. Get new ones if you can't get to them from where you are.

Sure but I'd say the junk yard is cheaper.

washer is now sitting ontop of my #6 piston, it is oddly none magnetic (as opposed to the other washer) and is somehow ignoring all attempts to suck it up with my shop vac (trying to suck it up through the spark plug hole with varying amounts of airflow allowed through the intake side and a stuffed exhasut pipe)
sooooo, to add to my long shitty weekend, approximently how long does it take for a newby to pull a cylinder head while not cutting the timing belt?
also, will I be able to reuse my timing belt?
and is there a chance that the OEM (from factory) headgaskets can be reused?

[oakrdrs187]

How did it end up inside the cylinder?

To lift a head you need to undo the timing, if your belt is fairly new and has no wear you can re-use it, but something as crucial as a T belt I would just replace it, and no don't reuse the head gasket.

Try to get a thin metal wire and do a hook on the end and try to hook the washer with it or wrap a small piece of duct tape on the end and stick it to the washer and bring it out. Worth a shot before tackling a timing belt job.

Use the endoscope to take them out

thanks ;) thinkin i should try to find a tweeter one :D

[oakrdrs187]

^^^ Just know that if your car wasn't equipped with tweeters you will need an additional bracket to mount the tweeter to, the cover will snap rigjt on to what you have but with out the bracket you're gonna find yourself in pickle trying to get it to stay.

I bought one but the lights don't turn on.

Edit: nvm, I found out I didn't have good ground.

quick question on the 5spd swap, when using an OEM 3G flywheel we use our oem starter and starter plate and there are no washers or anything that we have to use to space things out right?
