iac restricter plate

[white98gt]

anyone ever hear of such a critter? if so, enlighten me...

 

[MustangMatt96GT]

yea, it makes it so ur RPMs drop quicker!!

here is a way to make one with out paying for one!

Get a piece of Mr. Gasket and make your own size holes for the IAC. Remove youre IAC and notice the size of the holes. Use a 9/32 drill bit and place the gasket so the hole is in the correct spot, this will help with RPS coming down quick and still have a good idle.

 

[white98gt]

so, iac is still used. just a plate between it & where it bolts up?

 

[95PGTTech]

correct. they are DIY-only pieces designed to re-engineer the IAC's flow for better idle, better return to idle, etc.

 

[white98gt]

so you're making additional holes in the gasket? forgive me, i'm tired.....

 

[MustangMatt96GT]

no ur making a new gasket, with different size holes 9/32 holes

 

[white98gt]

gotcha. how many holes you put in? 3 or 4? or whatever..

 

[white98gt]

never mind. i get what your sayin. duh. note to self: never talk cars when very tired. thanks for the info guys. always like to learn new stuff about our cars...

There is a much easier and cheaper way also. Go to Home Depot and spend .49 on a 1/2 pipe cupling, drill a hole ( size is your choice) and put it in the hose that goes on your IAC. Only take a few mins and cost less that a buck..... O0

watch out though, i had one on my car and the hole was too small and it would out pull the brakes at a stop light... it was a bitch to get home.

I made one out of aluminum , and made a gasket for both side and the car feels great .
When cruising the shift are nice and strong , the RPM dost hang and keep the car high .

I don't understand, what do you mean by this?

 

[voidfinger]

the motor wouldn't de rev. It would stay at about 2k or so and it would pull like shit. Load the car at the stop light and sometimes out pull the brakes... which means the brakes didn't hold the car and it would start creaping out into the intersections... not fun

 

[Black97GT]

oh do you have an auto?

 

[voidfinger]

oh do you have an auto?

Yes i do.

 

[Black97GT]

gotcha..sorry didnt quite understand what you were getting at..I am getting a new IAC tomorrow and was probably going to put on a custom gasket

 

[voidfinger]

cool dude, just make sure its not to small lol.

 

[Black97GT]

cool dude, just make sure its not to small lol.

lol yea! good info, my revs have been hanging and my idle has been a little weird lately. I have been meaning to get a new one..and I get paid tomorrow so :thumb:

 

[scarface]

the copper pipe cap worked great on my 97... cost like 50 cents too..lol

 

[Outlaw97GT]

Yeah I used the copper cap also.... And mine is an auto. No problems, cant remember what size hole I drilled.... :dunno:
