Is this normal in the CSVT or could it be some kind of air leak that may be causing my power loss. Thanks again for the input.

There was defintitley a delay in the time i hit the gas to the time the engine would rev. Does'nt seem normal. Has anyone experienced this?

I had 2 caps one with each size hole as listed in the How-To.At the time the larger of the 2 seemed to be better.I'm gonna make it a little bigger,hopefully get my power back! You guys that live where it is warm...be very glad the Moose doesn't live under your hood...boy is it embarrassing when you coworker with the WRX comes over to listen to the new cat-back and all he hears is the Moose -2000 SVT-Silver Frost/Midnight Blue #1,382 of 2,150 Born on 01-07-2000 It's got stuff -2003 Lincoln Navigator-Ultimate Silver/Midnight Blue -1997 Kawasaki Vulcan 1500-custom paint,CHROME

Has anyone here tried this and if so waht were the results. Will this also fix the Trottle hang problem?

It's actually more like a 3 foot length & it is usually not used because you'll have a coil of tubing under the hood. kinda ugly compared to a hidden copper cap in the hose to the IAC valve. Additionally, it will NOT cure the TH issues, so the copper cap solves two problems, the length of hose only kills the moose. Must be that jumbly-wumbly thing happening again.

That sounds like the moose I killed when I put the SVT air box and associated air intake components on my '96 SE. There is a small resonator chamber teed into the line running from the air intake tube to the IAB. This chamber killed my moose and he hasn't come back yet.

Could this be used in conjunction with the longer 3 foot replacement hose. Will there be any added benefits ar is it just a waste of time?

I installed the 3 foot hose to fix the moose and so far so good. Only problem is I decided to reset the PCM...and when I looked for fuse 4 there is'nt one. is this possible. What does fuse 4 do?
