Iac won't throw codes.

We ran into this on Mikes, but I'll be damned if I can remember what dumb brainfart move caused it. Easy fix is all I remember. All I remember was I was tired.. Zzzzz

The used Cobra rubber intake I bought is hard to get super tight around the throttle body. I'm starting to suspect that f***er is the cause.

 

[justbob]

What did you plug the hole on the intake that isn't used with?

A bolt. Under Joe's direct supervision.

TB gasket blocking the hole for the IAC? (One made for IAC delete)

I checked the orientation carefully. I'll double check it.

 

[tbone]

IAC orientation fine. I'm not supposed to get a different one than the stock Marauder one am I? There's 2 small V shaped holes in it that aren't in the Cobra plenum.

 

[justbob]

So you do have a clear passage for air pre TB blades to the IAC, then from IAC to inlet correct?

Your IAC is backwards

As far as I can tell.

I refitted the rubber inlet to the throttle body and eliminated that as the culprit.

I saw a picture of the exploded Cobra assembly and copied the orientation from that. I know the Marauder one faced forwards. So it's backwards eh? F*** I hope that's all it is.

 

[tbone]

Another question. When I had the tstat installed backwards, the engine was likely overheating. I've heard these engines are very sensitive to it. Should I be worried?

Yes its backwards

No its fine.

 

[tbone]

How aggressively can I drive it with Tim's startup tune?

 

[tbone]

Thank you Zack. I appreciate your help. I'll post up after work the results.

Just wait for the dyno to go all out.

 

[tbone]

BTW Zack, your EGR design was a Godsend. 5 minutes and installed. You should market them.

Thanks.
I prefer to give people the design or idea.....less work for me

 

[tbone]

Yep, the IAC was backwards. Good eye Zack!

Now that the RPM's are down, I notice that the Metco lower pulley wobbles very slightly. The main pulley is perfect, so I know I didn't bend the shaft or pulley or anything. Something to worry about? Those f***ing Metco pulley bolts were unbelievably tight and hard to crank down!

Runs great except it takes a minute for the rpm's to come down after you rev it, just like stock. I'm sure the new dyno tune will fix that, just like last time.
