 I broke the plug to my idle control valve. I bought a new plug housing. Easy. But I’ve had a devil of a time finding the right socket pins for the housing. Several weeks have been stalled waiting for 80 cents worth of pins that show up and are the wrong size. So, knowing the 914 has to drive next weekend, I went full DACO and soldered a pigtail of wires into the ICV and then crimped them into place. About to find out if it works, and will continue to work for a couple weeks while I sleuth out the right sockets for the plug Wish me luck! Zach |

After reading this thread:
http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?showtopic=244849 I bought a new 52mm Throttle Body from Bus Labs. This unit:  I looked at the GoWesty unit which is more stock looking, but they were not currently available. And the 2.1 Vanagon TBs I found all needed rebuilding if I bought them on Ebay. So my plan: I have a 400 mile drive coming up Memorial day weekend. If everything goes to crap, I plug my old TB back in and do it, and deal with an occasional high idle and knowing that I'm leaving almost 10% of power on the table at WOT. BUT if the new unit arrives on time, I have plenty of time to make a mount for my TPS (since I can't use the 2 position switch the Vanagon uses), expand the horn on the plenum, mount the unit and get at least one test drive in to collect data for James to adjust the tune if needed. Somehow its always a rush.... lol. I'm sure the day I leave I'll have the car on the lift to change SOMETHING last minute. Zach |

This unit: Let me know how this works out. It has been many years since I did mine using the stock 2.1 50mm throttle body, but I vaguely remember having to swap the arm on the throttle shaft for the one off the 1.8 in order to get the proper orientation. Hoping the aftermarket shaft is of the same design to allow this. |
