idle and clutch Options

[TSiwrx]

ok here's senerio 1.: back when i first got the gst, one of my freinds told me to take out the honeycomb thing in the intake. so i did. ever since, the idle has been a crappy. then when i got the TB gasket replaced, the car would die every time you push in the clutch, so i adjusted the idle speed screw out a little bit and now it sometimes stays around 1100rpm, but mainly is fluctuating all the way up to around 1500rpm then it will go back down to about 8-900. it does this all the time and im wondering if i caused this and what could be done about it. it still dies every once in a while after driving on the highway. would it help if i got another honeycomb thing (uh mines now a cat toy)?

2. my transmission sucks. it doesn go into gear the majority of the time. now, sometimes i notice that with the clutch pushed in (all the way), when i let my foot off the brake the car will start moving. kinda like an automatic does. this is not good. i was thinkin maybe the clutch needed to be adjusted. i dont know if these cars have a self adjusting clutch system or not.

any info on these two subjects is greatly appreciated.

ok well i removed the one right behind the filter. im assuming that one is the upper one. Natedogg how much do you want for your used one? i prolly cant afford that, let alone a GM one.

Hmm? Both of them are behind the filter. When you look at your MAS with the filter off and the plug receptacle at the top the large rectangular inlet should have the upper honeycomb in it.

Look at the top picture on this page. This MAS has the upper rectangular honeycomb. The lower oval shaped one is removed.

If you don't have the upper rectangular honeycomb then I'll sell you my MAS for $50. Its in good shape and has the lower honey-comb removed.
