Any one got an easy way to do this?('72 2.0) Just took a quick look tonight, looks like engine tin will have to be removed. I just want to replace the intake hoses. Any suggestions for simplicity's sake? Brad? You're always good for a step by step for newbies!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer.gif)

Intake plenum is cracked or the throttle bdy shaft is worn out.
While the car is running.. shoot WD40/brake cleaner/something.. around the raised portion of the plenum that the throttle body sits on. They tend to crack underneath and cause lean problems (and you can't see it). If the idle doesnt change or the car doesnt die... shoot some of the WD/CARB/Brake stuff around the throttle shaft. Just too eleminate the AAR.. plug the hose. The 2 things I listed above should only take about 15 minutes to check. Leave the air cleaner off... I'm surprised more people dont chat about broken 2.0 plenums on these lists.. we run across ones that need to be brazed at least 3 times a month. People dont adjust the throttle stop correctly at the pedal board or they dont have a pedal board and the cable yanks on the throttle body causing the plenum to stress crack. B |
