96PlatinumEdition850 Posted May 30, 2006 Report Share Posted May 30, 2006 Okay, I just went out to remove my heatshield and I got 3 of the four bolts off, the 4 one being the one closest to the passenger side that is a spring bolt. I couldn't get it off for the life of me so I'll go back for round 2 when it's not 92 degrees in my garage. I was wondering how many other bolts hold the heatshield on, I know they are placed around the corners and those are just what I saw, anyways let me know.Thanks -JeffP.S. If your wondering why I'm removing the heatshield it's to check out the actuator rod and see if there is a gap because I spike to 15 as soon as I got WOT and then it comes back down to 10 immediately and my arrow like shakes at 10psi.

Zappo Posted May 30, 2006 Report Share Posted May 30, 2006 That bolt is longer than the others if I remember, so just keep turning and it will come out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crc1185 Posted May 30, 2006 Report Share Posted May 30, 2006 There are two spring bolts near the passenger side... you only really need to remove the bottom one to take off the heat shield as I recall. Not sure if you knew that, but it'll save you a little trouble. But yeah... like the guys said it is quite long, so keep turning. Once the heat shield is off, its easy access to the actuator rod.

96PlatinumEdition850 Posted May 30, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 30, 2006 Yea I'm just weak I think, I couldn't even get it turning but thanks for the help guys. I'll go back out and try when the thermometer in the garage isn't reading 90. Thanks again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaxx Posted May 31, 2006 Report Share Posted May 31, 2006 let'em wait until fall yeah, you don't need that top one on the passenger side, but you do need the one under it. also untighten the one attaching the arm, and the upper one attaching the arm. move the arm out the way and get the one under it.wiggle it out.

96PlatinumEdition850 Posted May 31, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 31, 2006 Well I removed the heatshield and the actuator was just fine which is swell but I'm still spiking to 15 and then going down to 10 almost immediately and then it shakes at 10 under WOT. I'm thinking a vacuum hose might be lose or something? Could that be it or any ideas. I just installed my boost gauge but the stock gauge the needle goes to the end of the white so maybe I've just got a leak at my new boostgauge in the hose or at the vacuum tree I haven't checked out. I replaced my vacuum hoses and put a MBC in and installed the boost gauge just the other day just for a little background info. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
