Urgent help with air pipes
« on: 04 September 2004, 16:49 »
Just took off the large plastic duckt which goes to the throttle, there are two small air pipes which attach to the underside of this which fell off as i removing it, which goes on what?

a) small air pipe ones comes from the airbox (from a round shaped piece of plastic)

b) small air pipe which comes from a maze of others?

really need to know which one goes on whic side, in the air duct is a red spoon shaped valve and on the out side besides each hole is a brass lipped bracket shopuld this be attached to anything? it's just bare

thanks, if someone could help me on this urgently it would be great, need the car for tomorrow!!

Took a guess anyway and it seems to be ok.  Would still like to know if they are ok or not!

im not exactly sure what pipes your on about? the only two pipes attached to the black plastic inlet is the ISV and the usually very oily overun/diaphram pipe which runs from under the intake and into the airbox

Sorry my explinations are always confusing, ok next to the left of the throttle is the air intake large pipe, the bit that is about 2 inches long three inches wide (is the one i mean) which connects to the long pipe that attaches to the airbox.

Underneath this is two attachments for two vacum tubing and inside is some sort of valve.

Hope that helps
