[ DIY ] FITV Block Off

Aron accidentally found out that the intake manifold which bought over from MJ, came with FITV block off plate.


Close view.

Since Aron is in holiday + I having some idle problem occasionally, so he decided to do some DIY.

Tools needed (right to left):

- Flat Head Screwdriver
- Cross Head Screwdriver
- Wrench size 10
- Double Flex Wrench size 10 / 11
- Cotton to mop your sweat (Optional) =X


Lets get it started.


First, remove the Air Ram.


The FITV located under throttle body.

There are 3 nut need to remove in order to take out the FITV.
2 at outer side, and 1 at inner side, located at the middle. Which looks like...


2 screw at the outer side is easy to remove, for the inner side 1....good luck to you.
You need to touch and "feel" the location of the screw, use the flex wrench to unscrew it. May take some time.

After quite some time, Aron took out my FITV.


Quite dirty.

If you feel like fixing the fluctuating idle problem, you need to clean the idle screw located inside, just unscrew the 2 bolt, and you will see it.

Lets continue, a rubber between throttle body and the custom plate is suggested.

Fixing the block off plate is 10 times easier than removing FITV, because it is flatten, and you just need to screw it back, and install everything back. You are done.
