Re: Hanging/Slow dropping RPM FIX inside.
NC Mach just wanted to say I just put my order in for one and hope this does the trick on mine. I just got my car Dec. 2006 and was hoping that there was a way I could fix it.

Re: Hanging/Slow dropping RPM FIX inside.
I screwed mine to a piece of scrap wood and drilled it. That will keep the plate from spinning when the drill bit breaks through, because we all know that hands don't like holding spinning pieces of metal.

Re: Hanging/Slow dropping RPM FIX inside.
If he's still making them with a 9/32" smaller hole, try 5/16" first and then, if need be, 11/32"

Re: Hanging/Slow dropping RPM FIX inside.
Their 5/16". Another way to open them up is with a dremel.
Fordman is right. A sharp drill bit will grab and either slice your fingers or bend the plate. So be careful !!! Better yet find some short wood screws and screw the plate to a board. http://brmcoa.org Last edited by NC Mach 1; 03-21-2008 at 01:20 PM. |

Re: Hanging/Slow dropping RPM FIX inside.

Re: Hanging/Slow dropping RPM FIX inside.
Mine is on a 5-speed Mach, and it required enlarging the smaller hole to 11/32" diameter to work correctly

Re: Hanging/Slow dropping RPM FIX inside.
Could anybody send me a CAD or SolidWorks drawing of one of these plates? my car is in storage now, 2 hours away, but i have access to a shop...might as well make good use of my time. Thanks for the help.

Re: Hanging/Slow dropping RPM FIX inside.
An IAC gasket is a great template, just make one hole smaller. See above posts for hole sizes to start with. I use a second gasket on mine but it's not required. Good luck.

You can use a piece of scrap aluminum. (old gutters?) All you need is a drill, a couple of bits, and sheetmetal shears. Start the small hole really small and adjust from there.

Re: Hanging/Slow dropping RPM FIX inside.
My 04 Mach 1 started idling about 1500 RPM and then suddenly droping down to around 800 RPM when ever I stopped. After awhile it started to die when I stopped .
Car is under warranty so I took it to the dealer. They found one of these plates on my car. It was causing the IAC valve to carbon up inside. They replaced the IAC valve, removed the plate and charged me $200. since they said the plate caused the problem. I just wanted to let everyone know this plate can cause the valve to carbon up inside and affect the idle. Something to check on. |

Re: Hanging/Slow dropping RPM FIX inside.
Thanks for all the good info, Everyone. I will be installing mine on Sunday if all goes well.
I am also installing a JLT RAI, so I wonder if I should install both at the same time or just the RAI. I'm thinking just RAI to make sure all is working correctly, then adding the restrictor plate to the IAC. I assume I need to disconnect the battery for a half an hour after each install? I don't know the computer re-programming process (since I have been away from the Mustang scene for over 10 years now), so do I wait a while to see if the computer is learning to deal with the changes or should I assume something is wrong if the car sounds bad after the very first start? (on both the RAI and the restrictor) Does that make sense? The kids woke me up too **** early this morning...or was it that I stayed up too **** late last night...

Re: Hanging/Slow dropping RPM FIX inside.

The IAC can and will carbon up and have OTHER issues REGARDLESS of whether an IAC restrictor plate is installed. When my GT was 100% stock but a year old it had a bad one. My 03 Cobra had one that was less than smooth so I had to clean it a couple of times. If this was an item that rarely screwed up I might agree with the dealer --- I think they used the plate as an excuse. Glad you got it fixed.

I would disconnect the battery for the RAI install, but not for the IAC plate mod.

I have to agree with geoffav. Boy did that dealer stick it to you and has you believing it.

I didn't get to put the IAC restrictor in yet - or the JLT RAI. I was going to do it last weekend, but I found a bunch of metal in my oil so off to the dealer it goes.

So your dealership is charging, what $1400 an hour labor? Dealers are crooks, if you had a wheel fall off they would say its your fault because you had aftermarket floor mats.

Re: Hanging/Slow dropping RPM FIX inside.
Twist drill, step drill, file, dremmel tool, and I'm sure other methods. Clamp or screw it down good if using a drill. :THUMBSUP:

Re: Hanging/Slow dropping RPM FIX inside.
If using a drill, affix it to something stable so you can hold it. I screwed mine onto a piece of wood (a common surveyor's stake) using wood screws, and was able then to hold the stake while drilling to prevent the restrictor plate from spinning when the drill bit "bites" into it.

Yes they do suck. I have a spare that I cleaned and stuck in a baggy. I wish there was a "quality" replacement for them. Some dealers are a PITA. Hope you get it sorted out.

On a side note Roy's Phenolic spacer makes it nice to work around the Throttle body when the engine is hot. You can rest your hand on the upper intake without burning the **** out of it.
