I would love to be able to take apart the plenum of my Q, and although getting help from many others on this forum and looking at lots of pictures, I still am not confident enough to begin. Would anyone be willing enough to make a video of actually taking apart and putting back together the plenum? I think that would benefit many people who are in the same boat as I am on the forum.

You do realize that the book time for this is several hours?

An experienced tech. that works on these cars works can do it in an hour or so... but it's not a video friendly process. Have you read the various plenum threads? The photo documentation is pretty good.

You may be waiting a while (a long while) before someone is able to make a video. Plenum removal is not difficult and except for the last hose in the back of the plenum it is very straightforward- lefty-loosey, righty-tighty. I was in the same boat as you, scared stiff by everything I read here, until I finally broke out the tools and did the job.

I'm partial to this tutorial. You find only minor differences between the 90-93 and the 94-95.

In a side business [Coffee] I made many commercials [on beach with Sec of Agriculture] and factory and land tours for Japanese. All in all about a Million was spent over 2 years.

I'm sure if 100 prepaid videos @ $100 each were contracted for we could create something decent on DVD. Gotta cover cost no free lunch when real money involved.

Unfortunately when it comes to paying the Inet shows people won't pay.

Tricks and tools a professional has would be lost on average DYer.The narration editing is always the problem not the picture editing.Reshooting to fill in gaps................if you could mount a series of cameras on technicans head hands but then they couldn't work.

A professional technican has no videos to work from and most have much less info than NICO provides.
