No, he's asking Rawburt what the UIM is.
And yeah, it's the big hunk of metal on top of your engine.

 

[shizapooh]

UIM "Upper intake manifold" its the greyish thing thats on top of both of your valve covers.

 

[91HellCat]

The silver box on top of the valve cover is NOT the air bag system.

Its the IMRC, or Intake Manifold Runner control, box. Which basically controls when your Secondary intake manifold valves open, its 3500 RPMs at WOT of 4000 any other time.

..its 3500 RPMs at WOT of 4000 any other time.

Ya know, people say this all the time. But mine open at 3750 and 3500 at WOT...:shrug:onder:

 

[dingleberry]

oh...

oh...

i was told different :/ oh well haha..

 

[dingleberry]

WOT?

 

[cnewton44]

WOT = Wide Open Throttle.

Basically when you have the gas pedal floored.

 

[dingleberry]
