Hey,
I don't know if anyone has had this problem, but a few months ago, my car idle d at about 2k. Ok, I was fine with that, but after going fast, it changed to 3k. Horrible for the city, so I tried to figure out a cure. I didn't want to buy a lot of expensive parts, so I through a gas valve on the output of the ICV. Fixed! I drove it like normal and then this happened to me. I tried starting in front of my girlfriend and there was a pop and smelled like smoke, I look for the problem and the intake boot that connects the MAF to the intake manifold fell off and so did the TPS (Throttle position sensor). I put it all together roughly and started up fine. However, once I did it again, same thing happened. It blew the intake boot off. I am not sure what is causing this, but has anyone had this problem or did a related fix?
Thanks,
Keith
