good luck.
good luck.That is what Zippy is refering to in your IC post. Unmetered air getting into the intake after the MAF.

UPDATE, I had MY switch valve hooked up wrong! 
I had the ground wire from the harness hooked to my valve cover, So I removed it and attached it to the switch valve body and now everything works!! Double check your wiring guys. When you see the word ( GROUND WIRE) Most people (ME) think you need to ground it on metal, but the wire is already grounded and meant for grounding the switch valve body cause its mounted on our plastic intake manifold. Hope this helps.

Don't feel bad Tim, I believe the way you hooked it up originally is actually how it's described in the instructions. At least thats how I read it. Also the dark photo shot from a satelite in space doesn't help either.

i agree vanilla, sometimes when you read-reread and read again it becomes clear. but this forum really helps with all the great members and helpful advice.ALSO shout out to Dave Fisher at STS , he is doing a great job at his new N.E. sales position, ive got a few orders from him lately and everything was on time and included everything i ordered. And you can usually reach him on the phone! His customer serv. is superb as of now!
