i was just wondering because after i drove on the highway my intake box itself was very hot

One last question: by capping the nipple under the intake manifold, do I need to remove the VFAD actuator or can it be left in place? If so, then there's no reason to remove the bumper.

Once the nipple is capped behind the throttle body, you do not need to mess with the actuator.

HWK11 09-09-2009 10:06 PM

i couldnt get the hose off the nipple behind the throttle body so i unpluged where i circled and put a cap there.

Jon316G 09-09-2009 10:10 PM

That'll work too, you'll just have to zip-tie that hose to the side somewhere so its not dangling near the pulleys.
And as long as you capped 90 degree fitting so that the hose to the intake isn't "open".

once i cap behind the throttle body can take out the VFAD solenoid and Vacuum chamber?? thats the thing thats danggling around the VFAD solenoid valve and Vacuum chamber...im scared it might hit my belt... also another question the 3 hoses that go on the intake does it matter which one it goes too???

Once the nipple is capped behind the throttle body, you are free to take as much off as you want ;)
Usually I would just take off everything to the solenoid (and even remove the solenoid) because from there the hose routes between the air box and the under-tray, so there is no need to do more work than necessary.

Doesn't really matter, though the way the hoses are routed/shaped kinda matters which fitting they go to.

Thanks Jon I'll take a pic to show you were I cap it... Also were the solenoid is it's connected to the sensor on the intake with electrical tape rap around it how did you take that off?? Cause the line Is danggling right in front of the intake

The wire harness for the VFAD solenoid can be zip-tied off to the side so its not dangling.
Nice to keep in the car just in case you go back to stock for some reason.

Does anyone know what kind of solenoid would be dangling right behind my front bumper? Got my engine rebuilt and a mechanic installed it but I have this solenoid just dangling not plugged into anything under neath the car right behind the front bumper? Help
