Torchred96 · 11-09-2011

Okay. Bought Marcs chip for secondary throttle valve delete for my 91 because I really would like to make the car as trouble free as possible, and I didn't want to keep spending money on actuators, finding out if they are installed correctly etc.... so, the decision was made to just make the system as simple as possible as Paul Workman and others have recommended.

I have the plenum and IH on the driver's side off at this time (the pass side IH is not coming loose for some reason..help here, should I pry it somehow?) and can see the throttle plates with the two screws holding each one on. I really don't like the idea of wiring the plates open, but it looks like the heads have to come off in order to do it right...is this correct?

If they heads have to come off, I will resort to plan two, that is, would it be okay to just unscrew the throttle plates and leave the shafts? I really don't like that idea either, but something about using wire to keep them open just reminds me of a hack job. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
