Okay, here's a quick HOW-TO.

Tools needed:
4 wire ties
Standard screwdriver
7mm socket wrench

1) Remove air intake hose from throttle body and push off to the side.
2) Remove the stupid black plastic piece sitting right in the front of the intake manifold (fits around oil cap).
3) Look underneath throttle body for a small little rod/lever. If you need to, reconnect hose and rev engine by hand. Watch the piece move.
4) Use about 4 wire ties hooked together and loop around the cable. There should be a large handle-like piece of metal that was under the black plastic. Run it through there but make sure it doesn't touch the intake manifold or the ties will melt. The ties are basically run straight forward.
5) Pull as tight as possible.
6) Reconnect air hose, and start car. Rev by hand again to make sure lever DOES NOT move.
7) I don't know if you can, but attempt to reattach the plastic piece. I left it off, but thread the screws back in at the bottom two to hold the hose away from the belt!
8) Go test it at WOT. It should poke until about 2750 and then suddenly go zoom! If this doesnt happen, you probably pinned it close! I did this at first. :rolleyes: I think you will all like it!

If you don't like it, just cut the wire ties. If you don't have wire ties, figure out something else. Hell, a piece of string might work. I also recommend doing this on a COLD engine because you will be touching the intake manifolds a bit. Email me with more questions.

Good luck!

PS: You might want to also try disconnecting the battery to make the engine computer relearn the fact it won't work, but I doubt you need to. This will also trigger a CEL and will result in a "IMRC error". It's worth it though :p !
