Re: acceleration noise found! how to fix??

["basfe25" <drrub46@xxxx>]

Another fix would be to remove the heat stove and the Shutter-Air 
Inlet (goes inbetween the air filter and the throtle body). Most 
people have it off (including me) and I got a straight plastic hose 
to go from the air cleaner to the throttle body from PJ Grady. It 
will also give you an unrestricted air flow. The valve is there to 
help the engine during warm up to restrict the amount of air going 
into it. As it warms up the heat from the manifold/heat stove opens 
the valve and allows more air in.
