OBD II port

The opening for the throttle is facing away from the firewall and not up. Is that just the placement of the picture?

Yeah, it is sandwiched between throttle body and firewall. Kind of hard to get to or get a tool to take it off. Any ideas and does it need to be cleaned or is the throttle plate and walls enough?

Yes, I meant the passages and not the part itself. Thank you so much. Roy!

Hey Roy, I put a new upper radiator hose on and a new clamp from the parts store but it is not original from factory. I will order one later because they are $7.00 for a clamp from the dealer. Anyway the screw type clamp I have seems to keep coming loose a little, is that just how they are and should I use two clamps?

Spring clamp from the dealer like the OEM? I do not have one of those.

Okay. How do we start the new question platform?
As for the spring clamp from the OEM do not they just clamp down tight when you release the pinch tabs with pliers after installing it on the hose?

Well, I will have to order an OEM clamp from the dealer or get one online. I had tightened the worm style clamp I have for now with a flat head screwdriver instead of using a nut driver. It should be nice and snug without being pinched now that I used the nut driver to tighten it. Also, should I not push the hose passed the little notch on the radiator fitting when clamping? Because I have it resting slightly above it. Please let me know, thank you Roy.

Okay, thank you Roy!

Hey Roy, if I am just checking my spark plugs do I have to use anti-seize on the threads putting them back in or is that just when you are replacing with new spark plugs? Let me know. Thanks so much.

Oh wow, so not even when replacing with new ones to preventing seizing threads in the cylinder? Also, my car calls for copper plugs, should I just use that and not put a higher grade plug since sometimes it may make the engine run funny? Let me know Roy, thanks buddy.
