I'm happy to say that the Riv is running amazingly well now!

Congrats! Did you find the last vacuum leak? Was it that distrubtion block?

The last (and biggest) leak was coming from the TB itself. I replaced the gasket and threw on the TPS while I had it removed and she is running like a champ now!

Thank you!

I took her out for a drive and there was only one word that could describe the experience.

Beautiful, just beautiful.

It will be a while, maybe a long while, before an American car company makes anything like the '95-99 Riviera (or for that matter the Lincoln Mark VIiI or Chrysler Imperial) again.

^^Thanks man. I found them for 30 bucks. That's a little more than I wanted to pay for these things, especially for just one. I'll keep looking I suppose.

That is about the going rate. Like real estate - they are not making any more of them.

The car is running great and giving me AMAZING gas mileage.

Only thing is that the 1st gear shifts hard. Normally, it does it after the car gets warmed up a bit.
