Skunk2 install

It's pretty straight forward, so I'm not including the how-to procedure on this. You should see the factory oil catch can with 2 lines plugged into the topside. This is where the PCV valve lives.

Then plug the PCV valve back into its respective location for a test fit. Slip the PCV tube up and in between the manifold's runners till it reaches the vaccum spout in the middle of the plenum. Check to see if all coolant lines can be put back to their orginal location.

Although, bypassing the FITV is not a good idea if you live in a cold weather climate zone! Well, it's time to re-install those. Use the 10mm nuts to secure the fuel rail to the fuel rail posts, then connect the fuel pressure regulator vaccuum tubing. To check this, make sure that there are no loose gaps between the fuel injectors and fuel rail.

If there is a gap and the injectors sit rather loose, remove those ceramic spacers! And because those ceramic spacers are not used, the fuel rail will sit lower on the mounting posts, and you just might have to elongate the mounting holes on the fuel rail to comply with the mounting posts.

You'll see what I mean Connect the throttle cable's hammer-end into the throttle pulley; then mount the cable to the throttle-cable bracket. Make sure you're getting full throttle too. Have someone sit in the car while stepping on the gas pedal and look into the TB and see if the brass butterfly inside the TB is opening all the way. Re-tighten your gas cap. Re-fill your radiator fluid, either with new coolant or reuse your previous coolant.

Double-check that everything is OK, connected, lookin' good, etc. This will build up fuel pressure. Leave the car on and go check your engine bay and see if there's any fuel leaks or spray coming from the fuel injectors, fuel rail, or fuel filter. There shouldn't be any leaks if everything was put back correctly. If no leaks - so-far-so-good! Now, go ahead and fully turn the engine on 3rd click. It might take a couple turns for it to kick over, so don't trip, it'll start.

Once running, check for coolant leaks etc, if all looks good you're install is a success! If you have any funky, high or irradic idle problems, double-check any vacuum lines or any unplugged sensors. Maybe toy around with your idle-adjustment screw on the TB. Lower the car back down to the ground, go for a test drive, and clean up ya' damn mess!
