How long did it take for the rebuild?

What he said, definitely need to recalibrate, and the procedure is in the shop manual. I pulled my TB on Saturday, sent it to Marc on Monday, he had it Wednesday, shipped it back the following Monday, I had it Wednesday and then installed on Thursday. So a week and a half, beginning to end, and I'm very happy with the result.

What is the process called in the FSM? I have a digital copy and couldn't find anything related.

I don't think there is an outline of setting Min Air in the FSM. The Throttle body was not made to adjust easily.

I posted this on another thread re: setting the IAC counts which involves setting the Min Air throttle opening.

Crap, I have totally ruined the future value of my car. Now it will never be a valuable collectible. Too bad, on to the next 50k!

(yes it's idling too high, should have replaced everything when the plenum was off)

Road Trip!

I'm headed out to pick up my Mom and bring her back to spend the holidays with us. The Z is gassed up and ready to hit the road.

Not bad at all, easy drive down. Start-to-finish with a 75mph cruise, one stop and a couple small towns, and still just under 26mpg. We'll head a little further south and meet my brother for breakfast in the morning, then back to Atlanta. Probably about 520 miles in two days.

These cars are such great road trippers, so comfortable and easy to cruise along in. If you let yours sit in a garage, get it out and go somewhere. I highly recommend it!
