OK.....i can't find an AAR, SOOOOO can i just plug it when the engine gets warm? If it closes the passage way anyway when it warms up, i should be able to plug it right?

Plug it all the time, then play with the throttle to keep the RPMs up when the engine is cold. If you just leave the hoses unplugged while the engine is cold, the vacuum leak will be much more than a fully-open AAR lets through, and you'll be sucking unfiltered air in.
Or you could do what one of the guys from the Yahoo group is doing--pick up a ball-valve at your local hardware store and plumb that in place of the AAR. You can open or close the valve by hand (he's gonna use a choke cable type setup) to raise or lower the idle. A bit half-assed (OK, more than a bit when he still has an AAR!!) but it should work... --DD |
