I noticed the hesitation when I got it... Wouldn't vac supply to the FPR do that anyway? Or just not enough?

And I've always pulled the injector & rail assembly (and re-installed) as a whole - LT1's anyway. Is it easier to remove the rails withOUT them in place?

Right mind? Me? That's a good one! And you'll know who's NOT right mind when you see it dry-fit all together, and then UN-plugged AGAIN.

No dirt? That's FILTHY. Cliff's is clean http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b7...lpacdetail.jpg

Clean as you go. Schrade's rule of . Sterile Spic n Span clean. Probably get it all perfect, and never find out what made the 'Hesitation'. WAH.

Makin' a list for Jerry's (and checkin' it twice)...

No di-electric grease on the Coil Pac prongs?

Where are your photos stored and you have thumbnail as well as larger photo (both....how does that work)?
My photos are stored on photobucket and I recently had to upgrade to Photobucket Pro because of a bandwidth issue. But then again I have over a thousand photos viewed on a couple Forums

I have three photos (total) of a Semi Truck and Grain Cart in a corn field stored on this web site (in my public profile) which someone complained that was poor use of bandwidth one time but you know how that goes. I used those photos to show that alternative of using this Forum as a photo host vice Photobucket and to also show photo sizing (those three photos I have stored here (Public Profile) are of three different sizes if you click on them).

You mean Hansel, Gretel, Schrade, and Dynomite......

Your logic is precisely why I started the items in my signature..........so I would not forget the good advice when I found it

Thanks for what you are doing especially with the photos

Blew through each line of the rail crossover both ways with spray lube and Shop-vac'ed excess (A tip - DON'T Shop-Vac gasoline - the magic smoke will get out of the Shop-Vac (and your lungs too, and electronics and organics don't work no more when the magic smoke gets out ) ) .

Too many more lines to un-hook. Came clean on a paper towel to start...

With only 44 psi static, then if the FPR needs replacing later, how deep do you have to go? Can it be swapped without yanking the plenum?

Even tho' Marc says 44 is good, it's way under FSM spec. Gotta' keep everything in mind here...

The dielectric grease wont hurt anything and is not a bad idea. Any thoughts of spraying the plenum since you spent all that time cleaning it? I know your chasing another problem but you will hate yourself for not doing it while you are there. D

I would get a new PCV Connector from Jerry that fits tight and you do not have to concern yourself with it popping off again. That PCV connector you are cleaning has had its day

Oh....and when you get everything out of the valley......I started with a scraper........then degreaser....then HOT high pressure washer......then steel wool .....then more degreaser and then a final HOT high pressure washer.....and blow on that valley drain with compressed air after first squirting degreaser from the top down.

I put just a tad of anti-sieze on the plug threads and torque with 1/4 inch socket and spark plug adapter by feel (snug tight but not too tight)
