Can't get a break.

I'm really starting to get pissed at these trucks. I figured since I have the FICM and everything out of the way,I'd pull the IPR and check the screen before I put it back together. Well guess what, I'm going to have to pull the intake because the connector boss is going to hit the intake when I turn it. I'm ready to go back to gassers and superchargers and have more fun for time spent. This is getting old fast.

Won't it spin free from the ipr? If it didn't it would be hard to tighten and keep the connector pointed up.

<div style="text-align:left;">It won’t hit a stock intake, I just pulled mine twice to screw in an IPR air test tool. Get it loose then remove the socket and spin the plug independently of the hex part. No intake removal necessary. </div>

Ok,sounds like a plan. I was just looking so the clone could be guided in the right direction.If the crossover wasnt there it would be a cake walk. I'm still on the do not do any work program via the wife and Doc. On that note the stitched are coming out tomorrow.

Good to hear your getting them out. I got the glue treatment and
two of the sites is still really sore. I think they cut muscle on that
them. I get to see the Doc on Thurs.

On the IPR I have had one in my hands and the coil will turn
on the solenoid's shaft.

Ok thanks. Being down for 2 weeks puts everything back and makes me crazy. Plus the weather here has been pretty crappy. Rain,rain and more rain. My basement walls are crying, literally.
