Has anyone had any dealings with this component on your car?

I notieced allot of hondas have had this valve on the car, and there would be a cable connected to it, to open and close it, basically bringing heat into the car...

while removing the engine today in my gsr, ive noticed that the valve is just sittng there, and i dont see any cable hooking to it.... Because im beginning to wonder if this is why the a/c hasnt worked since i got the car....

Does anyone know if there should be a cable or not?

 

That could very well be your reason. Pop the hood of another Honda and figure out exactly what your missing. Then off to the dealership/junkyard with you.

 

What gets me, is why would someone do all that stuff...

All kinds of things have been hacked up on this car.. ghetto stereo wireing... Now i have to go back in and make it all oem

 

On my 92 Integra, the valve controls the flow of coolant through the heater. The A/C is a separate system. As you know when you turn on the AC, you can also have AC running and still get heat. You just get drier heat. If the cable is missing, the valve will be positionned wherever it was last set at.
