I have an OBD1 throttle body with the FICV, I believe it is malfunctioning so I was going to clean it out

but I was also thinking about eliminating it all together by making a block off plate

If I did so would my car still function properly? and would I have to run the coolant lines still and have it work right, or would it be fine if I didnt run them

all opinions/comments are appreciated

 

Mine's gone and it idles/drives perfect.

did you block it off yourself? and what did uu do about the coolant lines?

 

There was a block-off that came with my Edelbrock TB.

I followed a "how-To" that was posted on here before somewhere...

oh ok, im having all kinds of idle problems, i replaced the broken iacv, and now when my car is warmed up it will die whenver i press the clutch in to stop but the car strat right back up

with my messed up iacv it would be fine when it was warmed up, but at cold idle it would be at around 2800 rpms
