I'm at the final steps of installing my "new" Windstar intakes on. The heads, the lower, fuel rail, and upper is on. I'm now in the process of hooking up all the vacuum lines and electrical stuff. Here are my problems:

1) I'd like a little help with getting all the vacuum lines to the correct places.

2) How do I get the throttle harness to reach it's new position?

3) I've deleted my EGR, how bad will this affect things, until I can get it shut off?

4) And I've bypassed my PCV as well, any problems there?

 

Did you buy a kit, or did you piece it all together. All the ones I have seen have a modified throttle body and shaft.

 

1)On the lines really easy to do just match holes pretty much thats what i did. You will have to run 2 lines out of the top hole i did my IAC and the hose that is about the same size.

2)you will need a bracket
2.5)Is the stock hood being used?
3)EGR delete will lower gas mailage.
4)you should not have a problem.

 

My throttle problem is that, from what I can see, the wiring won't reach. Is it affixed somewhere that i don't know or do I need to do some splicing/lengthening?

 

take a look at his cardomain page in his sig, you will see the bracket he is talking about.

 

Ok. Just to clarify. I'm not talking about the throttle cables. I'm talking about the wiring that connects to the TPS.

 

you can just extend it. get some wire that is the same gauge then cut the old wires in half and solder the new pieces of wire in.

 

Thanks. This actually the set up i baught from you over a year ago. I've only just now gotten to the install.

 

OK. Everything is on mechanically. But now I have a car that runs like a total POS. It won't idle, it's burning too much fuel(black smoke), and at has absolutely no acceleration. It may be making a hell of a lot more power but it feels like I'm driving a busted as VW bug.

I'm still so damn confused as to where the vacuum lines need to go. I've got the one that comes off the fuel rail, the red and green ones near where the EGR is, the brake booster, and the one from the IAC. Is that right?
