Default Re: Vacuum Pump Sound

Yeah looks nice and neat...i have contemplated removing them. My brother removed his a few months ago.

[/B][/B]QUOTE=Paul Workman;148986]And, when you get tired of fussing with the vacuum secondaries, AND you want immediate throttle response, you can always just CHUNK UM! (Speaking of the secondary port throttles and associated stuff. Parts not in there seldom break, and don't cost much to replace!)



Most of the FBI gang are sans secondaries, and to a person, I don't know of anyone that would ever want to reinstall 'em ever!

Just a thought.

Yah, rip it all out, what the heck.
You'll never want to put it in low power and let someone else drive it.
You can put all the parts in a box and save it should you sell the car. It may be important to someone.
If you do this, one thing that would be nice to know is what you MPG goes to on highway. I could care less about city. It's crap anyway.
Get on a nice flat road and idle in 6th going 55mph. See if you get 26mpg for inst mpg? or whatever before the surgery. Then do the same after.
A curious mind wants to know.

You can yes. Or just run some windex though it for a while and blow it out.
If it cleans up ok then you should be able to put a vacuum on it and it'll hold.
