The coolent line that goes into the throttle body and comes out under the itake. Can I bypass this without any ill effects??

Thanks Mahjik. That's why I was getting a rough idle.

 

The water lines can be removed as well as the hot wax rod and cam with no ill effect . The idle ,hot and cold can be fine if adjusted correctly . My mechanic plugs the inlet and outlet water nipples with pipe plugs. He removes the nipples and drills and taps the holes for tappered pipe plugs . This removes 3 rubber hoses that can leak. Good deal .

 

Cool, thanks. I just need to ajust the temp sensing plunger screw and I think I'll be fine.

 

i bypassed my lines with no ill effects. i was hoping to see lower intake temps, but my temp sensor isn't working for some reason, so i have to check into it

 

Yeah I set the screw in further on the temp plunger thing and mine still idles rough when cold. I get some low rumble back fires.

 

Yup, mine is rough when cold too.

 

I bypassed min and nothing has changed. all fine

 

It probably depends on the ECU. With the PFC, it doesn't know about things like that being removed so there is no problem. However, on the stock ECU (and some reprogrammed ECUs), the idle could and probably will be a problem (similar to removing the air pump on the stock ECU).

 

I have a limited Pettit ECU.

 

so if I do this with teh stock ecu I should follow the instructions and just wire it open a bit? I mean what happens if it falls off etc. Is the idle poor when its hot too? How poor is poor?
