Default 1985 Prelude DX air suction valve?

Does any know the full purpose of the "air suction valve" on the carburator model of the 2nd gen prelude?

1985 Honda Prelude 2 Door DX KA 5MT Air Suction Valve

I had reason to believe noise was coming from mine so i took it out to check it out. Didnt see anything that really could be making any noise so I put it back in, but before i put it back in i started the car without it on to see if the noise was gone without it on. I couldnt hear clear enough to see if the noise was gone because it sounded like a car without headers on. quiter, but still loud.. you get the point.

anyways while i had it running without it on i noticed smoke start coming from the beginning of the end that goes into the headers. ( if you look at the link it is part #6 that runs into the headers. )
I shut the car off once i saw the smoke. I probably had it running 30 seconds only.

I've hooked everything bacj up and smoke is still coming from that area. I dont know why smoke would be coming from there now. it is white smoke that smells like nothing. i drove it for probably 8 minutes and then turned the car off and smoke continued to come from it for atleast 5 minutes, as if something is just burning apart. No liquids of any sort run thru there it is just air.

Anyone have any idea what this smoke could be from? I cant find anything about this as this car is not popular.
