body coupler. Secure the nipple with the supplied
hose clamp.
m. Install the supplied breather hose between the
nipple on the throttle body coupler and the valve cov-
er. Secure the hose with the original spring clamps.
NOTE: Due to manufacturing variances, it is sometimes necessary to adjust the main engine
wiring harness to allow the harness to reach the MAF sensor. If there is any tension on the
MAF sensor wires at all, follow the instructions below. If there is a sufcient amount of slack
in the harness, skip ahead to step 3q.
n. Gently pry back the plastic tab and remove the
plastic clip on the wire harness from the metal bracket
next to the valve cover. The clip will lift straight up off
of the bracket.
o. Repeat for the next plastic clip on the wire harness
