Before you buy parts though check the pas idle up valve connection under the intake pipe, its 1/2" approx rubber hose leading from the intake to a round valve on top of the pas pump then from that to the steel vac pipe that runs across the front of the motor under the water pump. .
Removed the throttle body and was able to route the KS wire down between the manifold. Should be able to connect it tomorrow. This thing is nasty up inside the mani. Now I have tough decision of cleaning it all up now or get the car running correctly to be sure there aren't any major deals with the motor, then disassembling it to clean again later.
The steel line that runs across the front of the motor, it sure looks beat up, It looks a little dented and bent. Should that be a problem? Should I assume it's bad and replace it? What do you think?
