No, the capped nipple I used is on the air intake manifold (the big hollow aluminum thing with the four arms going to the head). I have the capped one on the throttle body too, but that's not the one I plugged into. -Tom "Matt Wilson" <wilson55Xnopsamll.net> wrote in message news:qHiT5.1612$CP2.83405nopsam3.sbc.net... | Wait a sec, are you talking about the capped line on the throttle body, NOT | the intake manifold?
