I have tried, time and time again, to find out what the hell is wrong with my stupid car, and it turns out that it is the intake manifold. I did the vaccum tests and the secondaries never open, I even checked the solenoid and its working fine, so its gotta be the ECU problem. ESPECIALLY SINCE THERE IS NOTHING IN PIN A17 OR A20!!!!!!!

So, now I am pissed off, because I even tried sticking a wire into that those pins (tried them both) and tapping into the pink/blue wire on the IAB solenoid. Both to no avail. Now I am completely lost.

Can I just take the stupid manifold off and tear out those dumb butterfly plates??? How much would high end improve and low end suffer???

 

replace it with a skunk2 manifold.

 

yeah, don't do that, you'll loose too much low end. I'd try to fix it or buy anther IM!!

 

What else will I need to make the manifold work? Do I need a new throttle cable and bracket? Or is that only for new TB's?

I'm trying to find the best price that I can on the SKUNK2 IM, but keep seeing the usual 310 shipped. I'll just cruise Ebay I guess.

So what all will I need?

1. Manifold
2. Hondata gasket (not totally needed, but might as well put it on)
3. ???
