Hey guys I ended up removing my thermowax, EGR and ACV (I think its called that, its connected to the 'air pump'). I left the oem steel vacuum lines but plugged the ones i needed to plug and connected the others, however now she wont idle at all. I tried playing with the idle control screw on the side of the UIM but it didn't work

My questions are:
When removing the thermowax do I have to readjust TPS (perhaps this is my issue)?
Should I just go back through and remove all the steel vacuum lines?

I just want to get my baby back on the road

Car info:
1987 S4 TII

Thanks everyone!

 

Just to gauge a better idea, have you looked up the emissions delete write ups on here? There are a few color coded diagrams showing how to route your vac lines after removing everything.

Search S4 Turbo Emissions Removal in Google images or here on the club.

Double check your vac routing then see if it idles. Work our way from easiest to hardest.
If no idle, be sure there are no vacuum leaks on your acv block off plate. You would not need to adjust TPS as removing the thermowax is the same as it being in the "warm" position if that makes sense.
