  3. Remove the two 10mm bolts holding the throttle cable bracket in place, the four 8mm bolts holding the throttle body to the plenum, and the vacuum hose on the rear of the plenum. When throttle body is loose from plenum, carefully rest it on the vehicle’s cowl panel so it is out of the way.

  7. Install the factory IAC valve onto the Stack Racing plenum using the two supplied Allen head bolts. Make sure to use the new supplied gasket for the IAC valve. Also take this time to press in the PCV vacuum hose adapter into the plenum. There are two sizes included, so you will have to determine which one you will need depending on the size of your vacuum hose. The adapter can be lightly tapped in with a hammer.
