W/ mu 93 I got a long screwdriver and pounded it w/ a hammer while taking plyers and bending the **** outa the clamp. Eventually got it. Took about 30 minutes.

 

yes i did it!...

I cut the ****er up between the bend and the tb jawn. It looks kinda sketchy but it doesnt seem to be leaking at all.
I noticed that after i take my foot off the gas i coast a lot easier. Other then that my idle is a little more steady and thats all ive noticed.

While i was doing this i replaced my fuel filter and poured in some injector cleaning. This is the extent of the work (plus the elbow) that i have done since i got my car.

 

Looking at www.shbox.com I was like, holy crap thats so easy, could probably take 5 minutes! I ended up removing the ps valve cover alternator, and alternator support and some vaccum lines, took a ridiculous amount of time for moving a hose.

 

Yeah you haev to move the alt support, unplug a few plugs and move a couple vacuum lines. I then just cut the elbow with a knife and used pliars to wriggle the piece off the steam pipe. Then I bent the steam pipe up just a tad to make it easier to put the new hose on, then reassembled. Took 10-15 minutes.

 

... what new hose?

 

well, new to the steam pipe anyway. The hose from the other side of the TB I meant.

 

oooo like of the two pipes you pull off the tb you are referring to the one on the left side (facing the engine) of the tb?
