Re: Throttle Body Hell (Thank You All)

[Ryan Bailey <RBAILEY.ORE-IDA.WNET.COM@worldnet.att.net>]

I want to thank everyone that gave me suggestions on removing 
that bloody bolt.  I ended up drilling the head of the bolt with a large 
drill bit, and then pounded the head off with a hammer in small pieces 
after cuting across the head with a hack saw.  

	I swapped all of the linkages off the old throttle body and put 
them on my new one.  I stole a bolt from my dad's scirocco and I was 
good to go.  I now have the throttle body back on and everything put 
back together.  I didn't notice until I had started to put the new one 
on that it had an extra hole, from the side, going into the large 
chamber of the the new throttle body.  It has a place to put a hose on 
it, what this is for I don't care but after I started the car it 
wouldn't idle.  After plugging the hole with, dare I say, duct tape the 
RPMs went  up.  The car right now is idles at 2000 RPM.  It is way to 
high but I'm kind of tired to play with that now.  I should have learned 
how to adjust the idle before I started this marathon, Doh!  Anyway at 
least the car starts, I must have done something right.

	To answer Shawn's question I have not put the exhuast manifold 
on yet.  I need to clean it up a little before I put it on the ports 
have some crud in them.  I also need to buy the downpipe so if anyone 
has some suggestions on which ones are best throw them my way.  New 
Dimensions has the techtronics one for $134.00 I think.  Does anyone 
know what the difference between this one and the Autotech one is?  

	Mannix I live Idaho, in a small town outside of Boise, the 
roads are sanded in the winter time.  The car is from Bellvue, 
Washington, the people moved to Oregon and then Colorado and later 
Idaho, so I don't know if being up there in the moist air caused the 
bolts to seize or what.  Thank you again everyone!
