    Default uim lim and tb maintenence

    i was wondering sence ive never really done motor work before. when i put my uim and tb back on tonight. as long as i put it back on in the correct order and torque settings what could go wrong. its been sitting for about three weeks cause items got powder coated. i cleaned the lim and put it back on but i want to make sure that everything is put together properly. just wondering what could go wrong and what signs i would see so i know how to fix it. gotta be able to drive the car back to college tomarrow.

    Make sure your secondary linkage is connected. The rest is pretty straightforward, like six bolts and gaskets, and all vacumme connections.



    OR just slap it in like this......

    As long as you have it apart spray some brake cleaner on a rag and you can clean out the lim passages and butterflys while it is on the car. Dont spray the cleaner directly in.

    More likely to foul the plugs that way. Take it off, then you can spray the #@$ out of it, then let it dry.
