To be clear, we are talking about this boot... correct?

The upper one, yes. Not the one surrounding the shifter mechanism.

Here is a picture of my seats installed in the car. They have a matte or duller finish, but it fits my theme.

The seats look mint!
Mine also has the matte look, but of unknown reasons the "corvette" stitching was black. The foam also didn't really fit perfectly, as the metal inside was not positioned precisely enough.

Car's finally back on the road, and all clutch related noises have disappeared.
Not a complete success though, as I managed to tear the lower boot while installing. Guess NOS rubber also means brittle rubber. To add salt to injury, the rubber-like trim on the drivers side of the console is also starting to let go of its plastic frame, letting in all kinds of transmission noises. Is it possible to aquire this part?

The throttle body repair seemingly did nothing. Idle is still 750 RPM with 0 IAC counts. More vacuum leak searching to come.

The Corsa exhaust I bought here on the forum has removed the drone, but it's still incredibly loud, even at very low loads. A bit annoyed with myself for not checking if the cats had been gutted while the exhaust was removed.

For the idle issue, have you conducted the minimum air adjustment?

I have not. Will do this before doing any more digging. Thanks!

Did the minimum air adjustment today, but unfortunately to no avail. The throttle blades came back from Haibeck completely closed, and unscrewing the throttle adjustment screw any further did not change the idle. Could see the screw lifting from the throttle.
Could not find any external leaks using motor starter spray around manifold and Connections, nor could I reduce the throttle by disconnecting and blocking manifold vacuum outlets. The only thing affecting the idle, was removing the pipe to the crank vent, and blocking it. This reduced the idle to a lumpy 500 RPM. Is it correct that such amounts of air should be sucked through the crank?
The breather hoses are new, and one (of the two) of the internal valves has been replaced. Could not find the second one, but seem to remember having tested it for proper function/tightness.

Anyway, to get the car nice and warm, I took it out for a spin on the Island where the vessel I currently work on is docked.

Wanted to take a pic of the car below the Arctic circle marker, but too many people around, and I dont like being seen taking photos of my car.

And yes, my camera is still aweful.

The crank vent? Do u mean the PCV tube?

S.hafsmo · 07-14-2018

Yes, doesn't it draw through the injector housings? Positive Crank Vent?
