Alright, I've almost finished a conversion from my SE to a free S4 intake manifold and tb that i picked up. Only thing is I cant seem to figure out the last few connections. There's a few vacuum lines and one hose connection thats sizeably bigger than a vacuum line that I just cant figure out. My "Bible" (haynes manual) isnt helping and I was wondering if there was a write up (preferably with pictures) of anyone doing this. I went out and took some pics of the few places left to be hooked up and I'll post those asap. Thanks for the help.

 

Alright, nevermind that part, I figured all that out. Now however, I have a larger problem. The car starts, sort of. Whenever I turn the engine over it revs up, and doesnt stop, it doesnt come back down to idle. It just revs up, very quickly I might add, so I have to turn the car off as soon as i turn it on again. Does anyone have any ideas as to what might be wrong?

 

u usin an S4 throttle cable? cause the SE one is way shorter..

 

I'm usin the SE throttle cable, but there doesnt seem to be anything wrong with the cable, like it fits in fine.

 

Hey, when you get it all worked out, let us know if it's a worth while mod.

 

Is the throttle closing all the way?

 

Alright, the cruise control cable is too short for the S4, so you cant use it cause it holds the throttle open. Thats fixed, now my question is the pipe thats held in place with a cotter pin, on the front side of the motor, it connects to a part of the throttle, mine sticks, like it doesnt move all the way, its restricted, does anyone know what it connects to, cause I cant figure it out. The car sounds real rough and doesnt stay on for very long, cause it stalls out. Theres also a repetitve knocking sound whenever it runs and it wont idle.

 

Anyone have any suggestions as to what it might be, Im kinda stumped on this one.

 

If you have questions, ask rx7doctor. He has completed the conversion and was willing to answer any questions i had when i was just curious. Give it a try. ~Gavin
