Please do a search on this. I was an absolute beginner not too long ago and I found enough info on this forum without asking anyone. Just do a search, there are a million threads with pics and part names and details etc... trust me you will find them with patience.

Also go to www.iluvmyrx7.com and download the factory service manual. It helps a lot.

ive done complete searches in the forum and i turn up with no specifics just scientific words and abbreviations for things i would love pics but specific directions are good too thanks again

specifics require the "scientific words".

these posts even giv the location of each bolt I don't want to repeat them again, no one does.

Since I've asked a few questions tonight, I'll try to help you out a bit more:

Look in the service manual on page 4B-5. It has a very clear picture of the Air Control Valve. Remove all vacuum hoses to it. Then remove it. Top bolt is easy. Bottom right bolt is almost straight down below the top bolt, kinda hard to get at. Both clearly marked on the FSM at the above page diagram. the third is directly left of the lower right bolt. It's hard to see but feel with your finger. Very easy to get off. Use some liquid gasket on the blockoff plate when you put it on. you'll have to buy some shorter bolts or screws to put it on and I suggest some threadlock.

I removed my BAC but you don't have to and many recommend you don't do it. The BAC is right above the ACV you just took off. Two coolant lines coming off it and one air hose coming off the bottom.

That will get you started. I haven't done the EGR yet so I can't help you with it.
