go to autozone, find some rubber plugs and plug the two on the valve. then plug up the one in the intake manifold and resonator.

ill try to get a pic, but its like a inch long rode that got lilttle o rings 2 black 2 white that goes into the acv

Yes, a pic would definately help!! What do you mean by "from what I heard"? Did you take this thing (rode) out or did someone tell you it is there? Did you take out the ACV or the Flow Control Valve? Is there a spring on it? If so, then it's the FCV. We're just trying to figure out what you mean by "rode". Need a pic!!

when i was under the car taking the acv off it fell off while i took the acv off, it was mentioned in the how to section when plugging a acv, let me try to find it

2) You will end up with an all metal piece, that has a concave end where the plastic piece was. (Further down pictures will show you what you will end up with) This has a valve running through it, which you can easily knock out with a small object

i called it a rode but he says a valve
