the small metal piece sticking out the bottom, can it be opened? if not how should i go about fixing this? should i build onto it with an extension and put another wire there or should i cut into that piece and put a wire directly into it? or possibly just solder it?
anyone else have this problem and how did you fix it? (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i113.photobucket.com-11576-1274816991.1.jpg) |

For reference sake, what is that part? cold air valve, it opens to allow extra air into intake when motor is cold, the extra air bypasses the throotle body. if the valve stays shut, the car wont idle fast enough when cold unless you set the idle screw to much, but then when warm the car will idle to fast. if the thing stays open your idle will be too fast when warmed up. all it is is a heater element that moves a bimetallic spring that opens or closes the vlave. the single wire is hot when ignition is on, the ground is thrut eh metal body (hence the wire must be insulated from teh body) |
