Literally a plate about an inch thick with rods, a spring power mechanism, and a control box that opens and closes 8 butterfly valves depending on whether or not you are above 3,000 RPM (opens above and stays closed below). <br /><br />You need to go back to your tuner and enable them again because you have not done an IMRC delete. What’s happening is since they are turned off they are not opening above 3K RPM so your car is basically falling on it’s face because of restricted air flow.<br /><br />You have 8 intake runners on each side of your motor on your lower intake and heads (16 total)… or 2 on each cylinder… which means you have a butterfly valve on each cylinder as well. <br /><br />You need to do a delete and get a re-tune, or go back to your tuner and have him enable them again and get another re-tune. <br /><br /><br />I can’t believe your tuner would just tune them out like that without asking you if you did a delete. Not very bright of him. Who tuned your car?<br /><br /><br />Oh also, your IMRC plates should be made of aluminum since you have a 96.<br /><br />Get that shit taken care of as soon as possible. <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#f7f7f7"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>slow96cobra</b> <br /><small>Member # 6001</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2008,6,29,15,56,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> he was working on my delete but my idle was too high and annoying. <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#dedfdf"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>Cobraboy</b> <br /><small>Member # 7826</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2008,6,29,16,18,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> </font><blockquote><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial">quote:</font><hr /><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial">Originally posted by slow96cobra:<br /><strong> he was working on my delete but my idle was too high and annoying. </strong></font><hr /></blockquote><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial">Your idle should have nothing to do with your delete. <br /> </font> </td></tr> </table></td></tr></table> <br /> <br />
