Is it held on with bolts that go through the 2 tubes either side of the TB? If so, what size bolts or are they screws? How to remove them/plenum?

I have an air leak somewhere and want to remove the plenum to check it's sealing.

New: TB, TPS, CHT, MPS, injectors, FP regulator, FI points, dizzy breaker plate, cap rotor coil wires and plugs, manifold boots and gaskets and vacuum hoses.

STILL wont idle for long, hunts and dies ......just like BEFORE I replaced all the above.... close to $2K in parts....carbs looking MIGHTY nice at this point now that Colorado is dropping emission tests......

Before you go that far...I had the same problem, All I did (after 2 cans of spraying the entire engine bay for vacuum leaks) was unplug the temperature sensor on top of the plenum. It was bad...All my hunting and Idle problems went away...

cool will give it a try;

in all honesty I still have some routine things to check, and I still may be a bit off on the static timing. It does run strong while running though and I don't anticipate too much more work until it runs right.

Vacuum leaks will cause a high idle. Hunting for idle could be a misadjusted CO level, but the tps must be adjusted properly for the co button to make much difference. A new tps should still be adjusted.
