Two of the three CRXs have this. What is it, and why doesn't my other CRX have it?

 

it's not working for me

For Geocities you have to add a space at the end of the address and then click enter.

I will host it for you though.

perhaps its the purge solenoid. or perhaps im stupid

 

Looks like purge to me too. It's not hooking up to vacuum or water. It just look slike it's attached to the manifold... like the purge is attached on some d-series manifolds.

 

Purge?? LOL, no, the purge solenoid is much smaller than that. Besides, the purge solenoid (on OBD-1 manifolds) is located higher than where this one is - AND do you see any vacuum hose that would connect to the charcoal canister coming from it? Nope.

That is the Fast Idle Solenoid - if the ambient air temperature is FREEZING (below 0) that solenoid will open up, increasing the idle speed past 2k rpms. Only OBD-0 motors had the solenoid located on the back of the I/M, OBD-2 motors completely did away with it, while I think some OBD-1 manifolds had it located somewhere else, if at all.

 

Ok, so why doesn't my other CRX have it? All the diagrams on Majestic Honda also do not have it. Is this something I can just not connect and forget about?

 

Yeah, you really don't need it. When people swap out their d15b2's, or d16a6's to a ZC or any other engine swap, you simply don't use the exhisting wire-harness connector that attaches to it (if your car had it in the first place). Perhaps only high-altitude emission CRX/Civic's had it...

Either way, you don't need it. Disconnecting it wont give you any codes/problems.

 

CA emissions?
