Step 7
Use the RTV silicone, and trace around the three holes. This will ensure a proper seal, which
should be pretty durn close to air tight. If there is a leak, you'll have a greater chance of
getting an erratic idle. That is NOT fun. Place the sheet on top of the sealent, and using your
smaller 3 10mm bolts, bolt down the plate.
**You don't need to leave off the valve. if you can't
find 3 smaller bolts, or you want to have the car look factory, just place the metal between the
valve and throttle body!**
Sloppy, but does the job
Find 3 smaller 10mm bolts
Plate installed and ready to go back in car
Step 8
Place throttle body back in car, and re-install. This should be the opposite of removal. If you
can't figure out how to put it back in, then you shouldn't be doing this mod!

Back in car w/o fast idle valve
Step 9
Let the sealent on the plate cure for 30-60 minutes. You don't want any of that junk getting into
the vacume system, or into your engine. Once it had dried, make sure everything is connected
properly, and start the car. Let it warm up, and listen for any erratic idle. The idle will
bounce badly if there is a problem. If there is a problem, you probably didn't seal the plate
well enough.
If there is no funny idle, then you are good to go! Be proud of your free mod. It will help
keep your car cool this summer, and maybe add a little power.
