Well, jblackburn was right again. I thought I took the bracket on the right off but when I took the manifold off there it was. Thanks for the help. Car is running great since all the maintenance is done! I've done a complete stage zero!

The idle isn't rough, it just dies. I only touched the PCV and radiator, didn't touch the vacuum lines...

Hello Forum, Car is a 1997 850 T5 Wagon. Just did the PCV repair, and swapped out my radiator and cooling hoses, everything is connected back up, but I'm having an issue keeping the car running. Here's what's going on: Car starts in the normal amount of time, when it catches, it revs up to 3000 RPM ...

I've heard bad things about scantech. For the wiper arms, I would find a pair from an S/V70 that you can take. Those don't get bent out of shape.

Throttle position sensor?
