I can't figure out how in the world to detach the AVC, the ignition coil rack and ultimately the solenoid rack.. I'm am looking through the service manual however i can't seem to find any directions on how to do it.. could anyone give me some directions or point me in a direction to go searching? thank you

the ignition coils are mounted to the soilniod rack with 4 10mm nuts, also there is a ground wire attached to the coil assembly with a 8mm nut. the solinoid rack is mounted to the engine with 4 or 6 10mm bolts, they are hiding under all that mess of hoses

I did the vac hose job about 2 months back. Took me a couple of weeks to do at a slow pace. You have to be VERY patient and careful. Don't do this job unless you have no set deadline and can work slowly and carefully or you'll go nuts.



I used the hose techniques kit. Worked fine for me.

rx73rdgen did you remove the ACV? does it come off all in one piece ?

helihansen 05-04-2003 06:02 AM

acv comes off as one piece. I think its like 5 bolts. You should just buy block off plates for all that stuff and get rid of it. Most of us have done it and it simplifies the egine bay ALOT! https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/bigok.gif

I've blocked off the EGR and that's about it.. what effect would blocking off the ACV do? can I just block it off or do I need to have other mods in place so make up for it?

r_xplicit 05-04-2003 11:03 AM

you can just block it off.....but you need to go ahead and buy a BOP kit, and do all the blockoffs at once....
