Currently my D-jet 2.0 only has two of the three hoses hooked up on the Decel valve (two larger diameter that go to the plenum)...where does the third line go?
What are the ill effects of removing this all together to rule out vacuum leak sources while I fine tune the motor (don't worry Mike, I'll put it back (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) ) |

Only reason (besides emissions) to run the decel valve is if your valve guides are worn and your engine tends to smoke on overrun when hot. The decel valve will not let the intake vacuum get as high, reducing the amount of oil getting sucked by the valve guides on overrun.
