Is that because of the gaskets breaking in? I will do so in a week.
I got Marvel Mystery Oil in right now, Seafoam in the next fill up. Didn't think about the 91 octane, I will have to do that. Thanks.
I just realized the manual say to torque the idle pulley to 45 ft. lbs. I did so but never got it to click, felt like it was to tight and gonna snap. same goes for the generator mounting brackets at 40 ft. lbs. and the generator @ 30 ft. lbs.

1. About the removal of the alternator and a/c pump, can you just unbolt the bracket they both rest in and take them out as one unit or must you remove the alternator and a/c pump first?
2. How do you clear the ECU to get it to relearn after the fix has been done?

When I did my plenum, I removed the alternator completely but carefully flipped the A/C and its bracket over and out of the way on the fender.
When you disconnect your battery, you reboot the ECM, so you should be ok.

On the Hughes instructions for the AirGap, it says you can speed up the learn process by having BOTH battery cables disconnected, then touching them together for a short time. This resets the computer so it can learn the new manifold faster.

i took my A/c and alternator off with the bracket, just undo the connectors, and it will all come out, but keep them in the upward position for the A/c will leak oil
BTW the ALT. will have a connector that has 2 very small 7mm nuts, and 2 10 mm, nuts, make sure not to loose those

30 minutes is adequate, a year is pretty much overkill.
