I'm very good at Not always a convenient skill.
I want to remove the intake, throttle, "air distribution plenum" or whatever its called to check for cracks where the sun don't shine. Don't wish to break it, but I got this idle problem .....
Could someone direct me to threads or resources on this job. I have a Haynes manual. Not so helpful. Slightly off my own topic, but having read lots of consumer repair manuals: tractors, fancy motorcycles, VW's, etc., and I've never seen one with so many suggestions to take the car to my local dealer.
How to remove throttle body and associated intake manifold?
Are you sure it's cracked? get a can of carb cleaner,use it to locate leaks. run the engine, spray the cleaner. If the idle speed changes while spraying a certain spot, there is your vacuum leak.
If you really want to take it apart, one bolt at a time, work from the top down.
And use brief little jets of fluid, close to each part you're checking. Wait a few seconds to allow the chemicals to penetrate the test area.
