I think this is only useful for 86 guys. Maybe 87?

When i put my intake on, there was a bad popping coming from the fast idle solenoid when i revved it and it came down to idle again.
It would only last for about 20sec. I knew it wasn't supposed to do that though. so i found a fix that's been working for a couple days now.

My $7 idle valve fix.
3/8" Silicone hose from home depot. $3.42 (10ft)
Electrical Tape. Free for me (maybe $1.50)
Super Glue. Free for me (maybe $2.25)

-I hot glued and super glued my own T-Fitting. (you can just buy one, i'd actually get more of a V-Fitting)
-Off the T-Fitting, run the wire wherever you think it safe from heat and moving parts. (I went behind the mani)
-Then taped the whole thing to be black and match and protect.
-Drilled a hole in the intake 3/8" (the size of the silicone hose) then just hot glued that hose in there.
Done deal
