[V8] 2231 code hell update....resolved!

[ron_01056 at yahoo.com]

Well had a chance to really look into this over the holiday and was finally able to fix the problem so I thought I would update......

 Well I was getting an air leak at the throttle body. There are 6 10mm bolts that bolt the top section of the tb to the lower. The two lower ones were loose cause the threads were weak. So I cleaned out the threaded holes on the intake and bought two longer bolts so they get more of the threaded hole and vwella,  no more codes!

 The car runs great now and I'm fully enjoying her again! 

 Thanx

If it doesn't go away I'm to run a jumper wire from the back of the fuse at the fuse block for the ISV to the power wire for the ISV at the coastal connector.
