IAC fell apart
 

Well I pulled the plenum to swap some injectors, during the swap I noticed the pintle and spring where lying next to the IH. Appears the pintle came out of the IAC:jawdrop:. Bought a new one at Autozone for $55 car idles smoother than ever at about 650rpm.

Sweet!


My wife was with me, told me I could buy a car made out of gold with all of the money I spend on mine. I reminded her that it might be possible to swap her ring for a stroker motor:D

Did the family room couch get a lot of use after that comment???

Re: IAC fell apart
 

Its hard for her to complain, she's got a Mercedes 500 CLK and guess who makes the payment....I'm driven a 97 taurus SHO as my daily driver.

Well then she is being a bit of a hypocrite abt the $$ on the Z no doubt --

My DD is a 97 v8 t-bird! Mama drives a 99 Grand Marquis. She no worky so she is lucky to have the smooth ride of the big Merc.

I think all wife's like to crab abt hubby's toys.

I get static on my boat-vette-sea-doo and my ham radio hobby --- but dare not I say a word abt her her clothing and shoe habit!!! LOL

I guess she is not going to like the short block I just bought. I will put it between the two sets of Dymags rims in the garage. I really needed it so I could store the extra set of ported heads I have.


Maybe she won't notice:eusa_shhh

Hans or Don whats the max weight I can put in the trunk of the mercedes?

Re: IAC fell apart
 

mercedes should hide the shortblock easy . just add 5 lbs of air to the rear tires:mrgreen:

Re: IAC fell apart
 

Lee you can keep the short block, heads and wheel here if you want..

but then you might not ever see them again.. LOL

Re: IAC fell apart
 

:-D Hey man, I totally understand. When my wife decided she was going to quit her job and chop our income in half to go to school to become a registered nurse, I went out and bought a 1987 crown victoria for $600 with no ac just to get by until she was out. While she drove the nice Lincoln Continental with a/c and heated leather seats. And besides she knows that I'll just go do whatever the hell I want anyways. Love you babe. Hehe!:-D

Re: IAC fell apart
 

If you put it in the trunk of that CLK (I don't think it will fit) she might notice slight change in the preformance of the car. Did you tell me she was a bit of a lead foot?

Funny, how our wives always comment about the fact that we don't "need" any of this Vette stuff! But there's never any problem with the jewelry, shoes, clothes, cars and other stuff they have. I have to remind my wife of the same things.

Should be a fun winter project building that engine. Let me know if you want any help.

Its amazing that every time she has been to the dealer she comes back with something new.....mercedes plate holders, key rings, floor mats, etc.

This will be fun, part of the reason I bought it was jus to learn how to work on the LT5.

I cannot wait to get it.
