i have an 01 gt

i am trying to install a Airaid throttle body spacer. i got the the throttle body off, but when i was taking out the studs that hold the throttle body, the one on the top sheered on the end, so i cant get the stud out. The only thing that i can think to do is just use a vice grip to get it out. any better ideas?

Which he got help with. However he also brought up the subject of the TB spacer in general, and should be made aware of how useless it is and the fact that it has also caused problems on multiple reputable people's vehicles during the winter time who live in an area that gets cold enough for temperature to effect it.

Okay.
 
I live in CT. TB was blocked off from coolant long before going N* and the N* doesn't have coolant in it either. Dunno who has had issues. I've never even heard of Canadians with problems after blocking.

then they don't get up early enough in the morning. :th_nanana:
 
I leave for work at 5am. Some leave earlier. It was was an issue, the engine would need to be up to temp long enough for the TB to gain temperature.
 
For everyone elses info... If your going to block off the coolant passages to the tb, it helps to open up the coolant passage in the LIM located under the EGR/LIM. You can do this by taking off the plate and drilling or notching out another 1/4" to the passageway. This is to make up for the coolant that was supposed to be going to the rear head but is now blocked at the tb/lim.
 


I think its for condensation/frost buildup wile driving? keeping the tb warm,
sticking throttle blade? It could also be emissions related too
