OK. no flming for this question..... What tool can I use to remove a STRIPPED screw. Take a look at the pic. Please Help !!!!!

 

Screw extractor....

 

i had mine nearly totally stripped fortunately i had enough left to take a hammer and tap the screwdriver into that nice and soft quality nissan bolt, and i got it out.
try some narrow vice grips, i got some from walmart for my brake lines, they worked wonders.

 

Thanks guys.....

 

Go out and buy a set of vice grips. It will clamp on to the sides of the screw no problem. My friend also suggested finding out what kind of screwes they were and replace them. These scrwes are too soft an break easily.

the one under the throttle body is even more of a PITA

 

did you get it off?

 

I got it off. now is to figure it out what to do but I'll figure it out.....

 

the cup still attached and it only moves a little bit. Does that means it is ok? Do I have to remove the cup myself?

 

At this point I would just go ahead and remove the valve. I mean your already in there, so why not. And even if the rod is still safely secured in the cup I would just pour in some JB as preventative maintenance. We know where the weak point is. No sense in taking it all back apart if it were to break somewhere down the road.

 

So should I remove the cup.. pull it myself or just pour some JB Weld in it and put it back together..... still I have no power after 5K rpm...

 

when i did mine, the cup was still attached securely, so like NewLoveI30 said about preventative maintanence, i just put some JB weld on it. no reason to break it if it is attached.
you should be able to fool around with that device to figure out if it is loose or securely attached.
if you still arent having power after 5k then there is another problem, and i do remember someone who had this problem but i cannot find the correct thread, since there are quite a few 'vias' threads coming up in the google search

 

Make sure you replace the screws with bolts

 

****ty *** ****ing screws same thing happed to me. I took a regular screwdriver and HAMMER THE GROOVE back into the screw and took that crap out as slowly as possible and gently while it was still stripping. Stripped to the point it looked like halfly shredded paper.

 

where canI get the screws.. I bought 4 new bolts in ACE and they don't fit ... eventhough they are the same.....

 

I got mine from ACE, had to use washers so it fit right. Make sure you bought all metric. Autozone also has.

 

I'll go back and change them.. thanks for all your help.... If my VIAS is OK, then why do I feel a loss of power in my car?

 

Coil, MAF, tune up....

 

Coils replaced.....
Tuneup... on schedule.....I change the oil every 3500 miles Mobil 1 sync and plugs every 15k miles.
MAF has never..still factory one..but I don't have the normal symptoms.... should I replace it...??

 

i jbwelded my cup back in place and jbwelded my spring to the cup. Car pulls hard as hell. Did u do those things?

 

MAF can cause power loss before it dies on you.

 

how long do you have to let the jb weld dry? is there anyway to speed up the drying process

 

Read the JB Weld box....

 

I couldnt find it at any stores, i tried 2 autoparts store and had none, and never knew what it was

 

Autozone, Advacned auto. Walmart. Hardware stores.

They all carry it, maybe you need to ask someone or HI is way to differ

 

SO what the spring does to the VIAS I didn't weld mine to the cup...

 

It pushes the rod all the way back, as you can tell, you can move the rod back and forth alot.

 

i didnt weld mine in place either. it is alright

 

I'm going to buy the MAF from DaveB tomorrow and go from there.. maybe is going,, I did the Seafoam today and when I accelerate it felt like the car was hesitating..... will that be the MAF ...
