Where actually is the IAA searched all these threads etc but as someone who is fairly new to working on the zed nothing actually says where and what the IAA is!??

 

Also the intake tubes to my throttle bodies are really hard to get off and advise on that too!??

 

Please help!

Iaa is at the back of the engine on the plenum , passenger side has a yellow connector on top look behind the balance bar and you will find it

 

warm up the intake pipes for ease of removal, if its the original black ones beware of splitting the end of the pipes as they go brittle there

Its the Idle control valve, and bolted to the back of the plenum next to the battery.

 

The intake tubs are much easier to remove when warm, especially when they are old as they get very hard and brittle, so if engine runs let it get up to running temp before trying to remove them.

found it! thanks. How the hell are you supposed to get that off though! ive got the main wiring loom going over the top and its very restrictive! lol

take the battery out and you have much more room to work with. you should have said yesterday bud i would have run through it with you with my z!

ahh thakyou! (again!) Yeah i know i had completely forgot to ask you. i should just put you on speed dial! thanks again for yesterday got bak around half 9 gunna get the exhausts done tuesday at a garage near me hopefully!

little bit fiidly to get that off, not much room. As said take the battery out after warming through. small ratchet and 3 inch extention should do it. When you take the intake tubes to throttle bodies of, make sure the clips are completely slack, the pipes are warm. Then try moving the nearest end on the pipe towards you standing from the front and twist. If you taking them all of put a mark or something on them, otherwise their may be some head scratching when you put them back.
