Got my plugs changed. Took about 3 hours, which is pretty good for me. Lost some tools in the process, didn't have the right tools had to fudge, etc.
Some questions arose.
How the heck am I supposed to remove the IAC? I can barely see the top half of it? I know devilinblack did it by removing the throttle body and pushing the fuel injection lines out of the way, but I can't see how to remove the TB, and those FI lines aren't pliable... Any suggestions? at this rate, it might not be getting changed....
#2, I have a massive vaccum leak. I think it was there before I started, so I am not even sure where to look (I started the car after I removed the air tube but before I started messing with plugs, then again after I did the first one to make sure it was going to be ok)
I have heard of some balance tube things that can break and leak - could this be it? It sounds to be coming from the middle back of the motor, near the TB. Tomorrow evening I hope to move the car where I can work on it with more freedom (darn association won't allow things like this here) but any suggestions prior much appreciated.
Arrgh,
Scott
