TOPIC: getting going

Hello Everyone,

This is Phillip Meinholz, from Wisconsin. I received the bits and video yesterday. I watched the video last night, and am about to attempt the first mod today. I am looking forward to the results. The first one is going to be a 2002 hyundai accent. The throttle body is already off, and I am prepping to cut the groove. We'll see what happens (crossing fingers I don't cut through anything).

Hi Philip
I am also new here, I have made a "real" groove on my car, but I got an old throttle at a junkyard and worked out at first, it is not quite as easy as it looks to keep the angles right. It's just a little tip from Sweden.

Greetings Phillip,
Welcome to Gadgetman Land! Feel free to call if you need any guidance or have any questions.

Thank You all for the welcome. I am looking forward to getting to work with all of you. Scott, I live just east of Madison, about twenty minutes from the capitol. If you get down here, let me know. I have grooved a 2002 hyundai accent, that is running well except for an ignition issue. I have also just grooved an edelbrock carb for a truck of mine, but I have not reinstalled it yet. So far, so good. Time will tell if I am making the mods well.

Talk about a small world. Unless things don't work out, I will be coming to Madison, hopefully arriving late Wednesday night before Thanksgiving. Where exactly do you live? I also have a brother & sister in law in Sun Prairie. I too am new to "The Family" of gadgeteers.

On your Hyundai Accent, does it have port injection?

I have 1999 Hyundai Accent with port Injection and everything seems to work fine except for getting it to idle down without almost stalling.

I have moved the PCV to the passive intake coming off the plenum, reduced the air flow across the MAF sensor (which helped a lot). I had reduced the air flow through the IAC but removed it as it didn't seem to resolve anything. I may put it back in with a slightly larger bore to see what happens.

Anything different on your vehicle?

Thanks
