Hey, could anyone explain the purpose of the Pneumatic Deceleration Valve on a D-jet?
Haynes says its "USA only" so I'm assuming its smog related. (I also notice its missing in any pictures of the engine)
Does anyone have experience running without it?
My plastic "T" piece between the Aux Air Reg and Manifold has long since rotted away and I'm finding it a tough piece to come by.

(the previous owners solution to *any* pneumatic-line problem seemed to be electrical tape (IMG:style_emoticons/default/huh.gif) )

Yupper! you got it Brad... You win a Fat Tire the next time I see ya (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer.gif)
Geeze! you got eagle eyes. I had the little "Y" in there when I got the car but found it to be very cracked and causing a vacuum leak. I did a much needed re-plumbing job. Other than that, most everything else is still there.

All I know is it's a California (EB) 1.7. There are no signs of it ever being on the firewall. It sure is easy to get to when tracing the wires & doing checks and it's easy to remove to allow easy access to the injector, Head temp sensor & spark plug.

Ummm Bruce,

They didnt mount to the firewall. They mounted to the battery tray. They hung between the tray and the firewall.

I love Seattle, especially the waterfront. Used to live in Port Townsend. Made many a trip over the water in the super ferry. Had one job with a const. Co. that had me doing backhoe & dump truck work in downtown. My sister still lives there so I'll be up soon and, hopefully for the breakfast.

Twice the question was asked "What is the benefit of removing it", and nobody's responded to that. Come on slackers. Answer the man's question before starting the goof-off fest. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif) (just kidding)

Decel valve - bleeds air into the intake on overrun (when you snap the throttle shut) to slow deceleration of the engine for emission purposes. Benefits of disabling - engine will spin-down more quickly making shifts quicker. Possible disadvantages - engine may spool-down so quickly when throttle is closed that engine speed may drop below idle speed momentarily causing stumbling or stalling. I say possible, because it's possible, but my experience is that the car runs great without it. I prefer to disable it. The efect on shifting is kind of like a fresh set of synchros.
