I am trying to chase down vacuum leaks and get my car to idle proper and run well.
It is a 1975 California spec l-jet 1.8l
1st question, what is the big vacuum solenoid next to the EGR that goes from the auxilary air regulator feed on the intake boot from the flapper AFM over back to the intake manifold?
What does it do? It has a small 4mm or so vacuum feed on the other side of the two 1/2" inputs.
Is this necessary for anything? I believe it is a vacuum leak and I would love to eliminate it and plastic weld the fitting in the intake boot to keep it from leaking and eliminate more engine bay clutter.
How hard is it to change the intake manifold, injector gaskets with the motor in the car?
