i just removed my FITV to solve my high idle issues. there were 2 holes under the unit one with vacuum and one blowing air out. i plugged the round one (with vacuum) and left the other open, and it seems to run fine. does anyone know whether the other one needs to be plugged also? does it affect anything? i searched for a while and the only info i found was about how to fix the fitv, not remove it.

I could be wrong but I thought coolant rant through it not air

 

There supposed to be coolent running through it.

 

both go through it. it lets a certain amount of air go through depending on how warm the coolant is. i just want to know if it is necessary to plug both air holes. i already have the coolant lines taken care of.

 

I was thinkin of IACV but anyways I think you have join the lines not plug them but I could be wrong.

 

yeah...its not the iacv. that's working fine.

 

I just made a plate to bolt into place of the FITV that covers both holes

 

well...i don't really have access to equipment to fabricate a plate. i may just put the thing back on tomorrow.

 

does anyone know anything about this??

 

a scrap piece of sheet metal and a drill are all you need

 

doesnt matter..i just rebuilt it and put it back on. works fine now.
