Ok, I just finished replacing the upper and lower intake gaskets, valve cover gaskets, plugs, wires, hoses, thermostat, etc.... I am now missing the plug and harness that goes to the idle air valve. Can someone please look and tell me the direction it goes? I need to know where to look for it. I am hoping it is not forgotten under the upper intake or something.

 

DI or DII?

 

Ooops forgot that info. D2, 2001

 

it comes off the harness for the injectors and the coils, its under that side of the upper intake, you should be able to pull it out from the back, if not, take it back off

 

Thats what I was afraid of. I will feel around and see if I can locate it without pulling the upper intake back off. Just incase I have to pull the upper back off, is the metal gasket reusable? I would not think that it is once it is torqued down.

 

It shouldn't be hard to loacte the plug, bet it dropped down behind the engine.

 

I found it. I felt around some at the back of the engine last night. I was able to pull it up. Glad I don't have to pull the intake off for something so stupid.
