I'm in the process of dropping in a GSR motor in my car but I need to replace this item on it and I need to know what the part is called and about how much would it run from the dealer. TIA.

 

am I not seeing an arrow or anything? hmmmm *scratch* I'll keep looking.

 

thats not enough info. do u want us to tell u what u need to replace??? what car is it going in???

 

can you get a better close up on what you're pointing to? It's hard to see...

 

yep...need a better pic...

 

Looks like your pointing at the intake manifold!!!

 

ok, i missed the arrow. I have no idea what that is. need a closeup.

 

evap purge solenoid? the black thingy?

 

I found a pic of the same engine in my friends integra and made a close up on the area...



So do you see that part that you need to replace?

 

I feel like a gump answering this cuz I haven't worked on any motors in awhile so I'm probably wrong. but my best guess is the Inlet Air Temp sensor. #15



this isn't the diagram to that particular motor but the sensor placement and 'look' looks the same.

 

Those are two different motors.

I believe the one that includes the arrow is the EGR.

 

Here it is....#18. Price on acuraautomotiveparts.org says $42.19

 

I don't think EGR's were on GSR's. I believe they were on HX's, Preludes and something else...

 

sorry for the small pictures I hope this one helps. Its the black thing the yellow arrow is pointing to. The motor is a 97 GSR motor and its going into a 95 ex coupe and I'm gonna keep it OBD1.

 

well i was bored and flippin through my crappy haynes manual...and i belive its the iat (intake air temp) sensor

 

You do not need to use that item in an obd1 car, it is some weird obd2 only crap.

You're good to go buddy.

hes right on obd1 gsr motors they didnt have that. but on obd 2 cars it is there. the obd1 ecu wonbt look for it dont worry about it.

 

What should i do to block it off? Its good to hear that I won't need it but I would like to see what most people do to block it off when they run an OBD1 ecu.

 

Firstly, the original poster's motor is OBD-II. The Evap purge solenoid came only on OBD-II motors. The breakdown of the intake manifold in Matt95hb's post is an OBD-I motor and his #18 is actually the air temp sensor which you don't need, becuase it's the evap purge solenoid.

You can just cap it off with rubber caps you can get in the fittings aisle at your local automotive store.

 

thanks for the help. I'm out to the auto part store to get some rubber caps.

 

Just use some hose, caps aren't always necessary, you can usually tee together those kind of problems.

 

Jesus, how do you people get swaps accomplished.

This White plug plugs into an IAT sensor.


This black thing is your EVAP Purge Solenoid found on all USDM honda's from ATLEAST 1988 and newer. No... it is NOT just an OBD II thing.



Now here is where you should do (there are several ways). Get some vacuum line (or use what is left over from your old motor). Take the larger line off of the bottom of the (2) stacked nipples and run it to one side of that OBD II EVAP Purge Solenoid. then find the same size vacuum line and run it to the large nipple on the front of your throttlebody. then take a smaller diameter vacuum line and hook it up to the smaller nippled on top of the (2) stacked nipples on your canister, run it to ANY vacuum source.

Or

Run the larger canister linee directly to the throttlebody and run the smaller line directly to any vacuum source

Or

Run the larger line to the front of the throttle body, use your old EVAP Pruge sensor from your old motor and run the smaller vacuum line through the old EVAP to a vacuum source.

Venting expanding gasses from your gas tank so that it (in theory, not that this would EVER happen) doesnt blow up, is not some hippie invention. They designed it because I'm sure its happened before. We learn by doing, right?

i put a dab of RTV and a zip tie around mine, only because i'm going for the MOST FUCKED UP SWAP EVER award</TD></TR></TABLE>

that sounds like something I would do

 

so basically you are saying that I need to use the evap purge selenoid? My problem is that the bottom plug on the evap purge is broken. So that means I do need to replace it and get a new one to plug in?
