<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(DTN @ Mar 30 2009, 05:17 PM) </div><div class='quotemain'>I question weather my engine is sitting too high in my bay. I noticed you leveled your engine? How did you manage to do this?</div>
I made sure i was on level ground, and i put a level on the throttle body. Only did this for side to side, NOT front to back. The front and back should be the same as stock as no mounts were modified.
Oh, one more thing. I cannot use the spark plug cover, it rubs on the hood. Besides that it fits great, I do have rubbing when I turn. This is due to the pass side mount, i made it pushing the motor to far over. I will fix this over the summer..
I hope this helps.

Ok I have almost all of the wiring Complete. I have this problem though,
I have this sensor (don't know what it is)
This is what the connector looks like.
And this is what I believe to be the IAC (which the connector fits but doesn't)
Is this the right thing??? It's the only connection I have left (aside from the purge valve on the rear of the intake manifold)
All in all my swap is going fantastic. The ECU/Starter/Alternator will be here tomorrow and I'm gonna put the axles back in and get it off the jack stands as well.

Is the sensor from the Beta or the Alpha?
That does appear to be the IAC. You might have to use the Beta connector and splice in the wiring.

If I knew where the sensor went I wouldn't have this pickle. I don't have the head or IM from the alpha anymore since I took my cans in for recycling last week. I'm gonna look for engine bay pics somewhere and see what that tells me.
Yeah it's the Alpha connector. No I don't have a cvvt motor. It came from an 02 elantra. I checked it out before I bought it. There aren't any U-Pullit places local for me to go grab the sensor connector from.
