Degreaser, a hose, let it dry in the sun. That's what I did with mine when I got it off Tim.

You could do that and hit it with a wire wheel if you want to get it sparkling clean.

Well I installed my tsx im yesterday. The install went pretty smooth. I am feeling a little umph from it. I do have a little hesitation when you first hit the pedal. Has anybody else experienced this? My wife pretty much said if it keeps doing it I have to put the stock one back on
. I'm not sure if its a vacuum leak the idle is smooth and it accels smooth its just at the first 1/2 sec hit of the pedal. Any ideas? I also have SRI as well and thats it for mods.

I never had this issue when I installed mine 2 years ago. Did you make sure it was installed correctly?

I think he may have a small leak somewhere, namely the throttle body gasket. Need more info on what gaskets were reused or replaced.

I reused both gaskets. It came apart pretty easy my car only has 55k on it. I also thought a small leak just wish I knew how to find such a small leak if there is one.

The one between the IM and the lower and upper is metal so its not a big deal. The TB one is some type of paper composite and prone to tears even tiny ones. Trying to find a leak for something like that is a bitch and the easiest thing to do is just replace that gasket.

Thanks for the input.. I found out my uncle who has a shop also has a smoke machine. So when I get a chance I am going to bring it up there to look for a leak with that. He also said that I could spray around gasket areas with some throttle body cleaner and if there is a leak the idle will change. The only problem I have with that method is that I powder coated the intake and I think throttle body cleaner has acetone in it which can fuck up powder coatings..

You could always re power coat it. I'd rather have a working intake manifold.

I started the guide, got stuck on one of the first steps when the phillips head got stripped... Should I dremel a slot into it and use a slot head?
Another question (I have 2007), on the left side of my plenum I have a small tube heading left. On the new TSX IM I don't have the same port on the left side, is this on the rear that needed to be relocated, as mentioned in the guide?

Alright will have my IM in this week or next but still debating between p2r gasket or hondata gasket for the injector base, and i am sure will be p2r IM gasket and TB gasket.

They're all pretty much the same stuff. I have a P2R gasket for my IM (no injector base on my car).
