Wow, certainly a sevenstock full of interesting twists for the phoenix crew. Glad that you were LUCKY enough there was a manifold not 100 feet from where you parked.
Thanks to everyone to gave Easy a hand as it would have been tough times without being able to get a manifold.

That was the funniest thing I had ever seen. I got to the banquet and everyone asked if I had seen his car. I had earlier in the day but it was still in one piece! That was the first time I had ever seen someone blow up something like that on their car hundreds of miles away from home and think it was funny.

Well it drove home fine but itt wouldn't idle below 1300 rpm and I had a CEL of P0507. RPM out of range high basically. Well she ran fine to get home but today I went to MM's and decided to check the throttle body. And low and behold it had bent the butterfly about 3 mm's back. That explains the high idle code. In the bottom of the throttle body you can see how far off the plate is.

If Monte didn't have his parts car sitting there at the hotel, it would have been a very different story.
