[SOLVED - FITV] 3rd Gen - Revving at idle?

[NafemanNathan]

120kmph right?

Mph..? Hey speeding is nonsensical. Einstein said that time is relative, speed = Distance over Time, the true distance we travel on a spinning planet orbiting a sun, orbiting a black hole that it's being pushed away from, all at indeterminable speeds. How fast was I going? I don't really know but I know it somewhere close to about 40% of the speed of light

Weirdly enough though my drivers license is squeaky clean

Is it because the times you've been pulled over, the 5-O haven't got a clue of how to argue with the above?

Can't argue with science, bruh! You can try but "fly on a train" stumps them every time. They either have to admit it's impossible to know how fast you're going and your speedo just tells you how fast your wheels are turning, or they have to admit that you were stationary the whole time you've been in your vehicle and so were (yourself) travelling 0mph

Gotta love physics But no in all seriousness I do have a clean license and can't work out how I never get pulled

To determine if it's the FITV, remove the inlet pipe whilst it's surging and block the lower hole in the throttle body with your preferred digit. If the surging stops then your FITV isn't sealing properly.

Here's a link to my fix bud...

That makes a lot of sense I'm definitely going to have a look at mine tomorrow, it's just really throwing me off that it settles when I put it under load.

How did you get on mate?

Sorry for late reply. Seems pretty definitive. Blocking the port on the intake settles the idle, and when I took FITV cap off it was all black and I couldn't budge anything but the plunger. On the bright side I did shred one of the screws and had to replace them both to get the cap back on.

Thanks for help mate, will be taking whole manifold off and cleaning it up this weekend since it was a future job on my list anyway

Excellent mate Pretty sure I sheared one of the screws on my top cap as well
