Can someone post a pic of how to block off your FIAV with rtv? I've searched dsmtalk, tuners and here and I can't find any pics of where to put the rtv. All I need is to see it and I can go from there.

Why would you do this?

You would need a plate to block it off.

All I wanna do is block off the fiav cause on my daily it idle surges as it warms up. Then once its warm its perfect. I don't wanna start a discussion all I want is to know where to put the rtv. I read alot of people doing it this way but there all older threads and the pics dont work anymore.

Are you sure it is the Fast Idle Air Valve and not the EGR valve?

There that took about 2 minutes. (post 1 for pics, post 10 for a breakdown on how it works).

Yeah haha. Just got done blocking the holes with rtv. Gonna let it sit overnight to dry and put it back together in the morning. Hopefully this cold start surge will be gone!

I just did the exact same thing last night. I've been running with a blocked off FIAV/ISC for a few years now, but have decided I want an ISC again. I just took some scrap sheet aluminum and cut it out a block of plate with the holes in it for the ISC, like the one pictured in the thread Swanny linked to. I personally am not just shoving a bunch of RTV in it. Why not just make a block off plate?
