I know there are some other threads on this topic, I did not want to hijack them though.
I've had issues with my car not wanting to start on occasion when it was warm, or if I used the AC while it was idling.
After about 2-3 years without being able to find out what the problem was, I'm pretty sure my engine has become hydra-locked.
I just got my UIM off, and will be removing the TB from it before I replace it with the UIM here.

I'll also get the LIM kit that they have.
What other parts will I need to buy?
Do those kits come with most of the gaskets and O-rings I need?
Or do I still need to get fuel injector o rings?
I do plan to replace my valve cover gaskets, as well as a few hoses that are dry-rotting, I need to find the little PVC harness, or whatever you call it, I'll take a pic of it later, so maybe somebody may be able to tell me what it's called, and where to find it.
Also, what cleaners will I need to get the LIM cleaned up good?
And last, but not least, any tips on what I'll need to do to make sure the engine is no linger hydra-locked?
Here's some pics, sorry they are not too clear, it was really humid outside.

Any help is appreciated, as I need it, I'm just doing this based off of common mechanical knowledge, and help from the net, so I'll need all the help I can get, as I've been without a car for 3 months, and I really need to get it running again.
