I was thinking of that. Does it actually work? Also I was about to post about the Vacuum hoses on the TB that goes to thermostat housing we dont need those either right. I took out my heater & A/C & no longer have the core or nothing So i'm going to block off all of the coolant lines & bypass the TB see any problems. I dont think there are.[This message has been edited by 1312VR4 (edited 05-25-2002).]

When are the "plates" coming to market and how much for them?
I just made mine for $2.15

Yeah. I had some aluminum laying around.
Tools needed for removal: Phillips screwdriver, hammer, vice grips,WD-40,
12 pack , band -aids, & patience. Them things are a b**ch.
If all else fails break out with the Air Compressor( I almost had to)

Tried that & it stripped the slots. Vice grips worked good though. I do have all the right tools...lol

I don't have AC so that isn't a problem. You really need the ISC if you have AC. It idles too rich when the car is cold so you have to keep your foot on the gas a tad bit to let more air in. Not a big deal. Within 1 minute, it idles perfectly. With a VPC, it actually idles better like this. Another pro is I don't have those coolant hoses running to the throttle body heating things up.
Does this eliminate the FIAV aswell?Or has anyone just filled the passages for the FIAV with high-temp epoxy? If so, will the car maintain an idle without the FIAV?trying to avoid replacing the TB due to a bad FIAV...Mike Jones

That entire section where that valve was is gone on my t-body. Idle is fine. You can always block off the FIAV and still use the ISC. Just remove that piece like I did and you'll see what I mean.

How do you check for a bad FIAV??
Just a little update. I did this mod & it works fine.
Just wanted to ask if you were able to reuse the bolts/screws you took out or if you got some to replace them? If so what kind?

When I did this I cut the stock screws shorter with a dremel, worked fine.
