Throttle body heater plate
Rolled over 200k today...
Fresh off of a wonderful gift from Santa... The old Throttle body heater plate gasket fail. First clue was a few P0303 codes while on the freeway, still felt like it was running fine though. Saw the puddle on the valve cover while checking the oil. Being away from home on a trip and planning more driving I checked with an Indy shop I use frequently and they were so slammed they couldn't look at anything until the 3rd. So I went by a dealership and overpaid for the kit. $50 for the new plate, gasket, and new throttle body gasket.
Read up on the procedure here and got it done in about 40 minutes, once I found a 7/32" nut driver which worked instead of the 5.5mm. Except it didn't quite work well enough as it started leaking 3 days later again... Took apart and redid only tighter... took about 20 minutes the second time :-)
Fingers crossed.

I'd surely pay-out/unwind that winch rope and clean...that sand will work like sandpaper.
Thank you, for sharing the great photos on your outing...good stuff.
Brian.

Removed SAI pump and relocated inertia switch and evaporation system vent canister (?) down on inner fender, and mounted washer bottle in their place. All wired up and working, just need to add one small bracket to the lower mount of the bottle. It was 14 degrees F while I was doing this outside at work, while on lunch, so once l got it wired up...l said **** on the bracket until tomorrow.
I'll remove the rest of the SAI exhaust manifolds once I make up some plugs for the heads. Although, I may just use the extention that comes out of the head and put a piece of copper under the cap that normally would hold the tube.
Haven't done anymore fab-work on the new bumper...work has gotten in the way of my to-do list.

i thought about that relocation as well, but with an imminent move to California I'm stuck with keeping SAI.
