why did you take yours off??

because my rpms hang and my idle surges sometimes and its pissing me off greatly. lol... so i took it off to check all the vaccum fittings and i had to re-torque my lower intake bolts as well

Do you have a measurement on how long it is? I think I might have one. I got a long skinny bolt in my box-o-bolts that I think is from an upper intake. If it's the right one you can have it.

[billyNOTnice]

i have them if you need them.

thanks for your help everyone...after looking around all day at a hardware store, home depot, and lowes and seeing that no one on earth has a bolt long enough, i ordered some bolts from a ford dealer.

yeah i dunno what exactly it is. my TPS is set exactly at .98v...i re-torqued my lower intake bolts and they needed it for sure....i didnt go back and retorque them like i should of after the gaskets settled.

i also had my egr valve plugged in but i capped the vaccum line on it and under the intake. im gonna try running it with vaccum hooked up now and see how that is. im thinking maybe it was stuck open?

and i removed TAB and TAD solenoids as well so i dunno if that is causing it or what. im thinking it has to be a vacuum leak cause the rpms hang for a sec when you give it gas. ill be able to look into more things once i get these bolts.

i pulled codes but all i got were things for my TAB and TAD solenoids and other smog things that i didnt have hooked up
