Preparing to do the MPFI swap on my hatch and noticed something was missing from the bottomside of my manifold. Can anyone tell me what is supposed to bolt here?

 

its called the fast idle solenid valve it is a black circle thing with wires coming out

 

cant tell where i am looking at... can you get a wide angle pic?

Just my guess, but looks like IAT sensor.

 

Here's a zoomed out pic, hope this helps.

 

Well, not IAT... Where does the vac line go?

you don't really need it, especially in Florida - the FICV is only there to boost the idle slightly when the air temperature is really cold, -10C or 14F - other than that, it does nothing - just block off the vacuum ports and leave it - if you want to run it, you will need to add wiring to the ECU

 

yea what he said, its not really necessary.



The fast idle control solenoid valve, mounted on the right side of the throttle body, is used to increase the air flow rate for fast idling at extremely low ambient temperatures.

OPERATING CONDITIONS:
The Fast Idle Control Solenoid Valve is turned on when the Coolant Temperature is Below 14°F (-10°C) AND Engine Speed is Below 1,800 rpm.

 

i have always woundered how/what that did.

thanks for the informative post guys

 

Ah thanks for the good replies, I'll just find some way to block it off.
