its the black plastic thingy on the manifold that looks like a button(it breaks off really easy). on the pic, its the one below and a little bit to the left of the IAT sensor. it is being held by one phillips scew.


i kinda broke it while installing the motor. will my ecu look for this

I think you're refering to the tps (throttle position sensor) and if so YUP the ecu will definately be looking for that one.

 

no its not the TPS, it looks like a push on/off button and its connected to a vacum

 

circle it in the pic or get a better pic of it up.... Not sure what you're talking about.

 

no thats not the tps.......
i ran an obd1 motor with an obd2 intake manifold.
which did not include that sensor.
so i left it unplugged and i ran no codes.
if you were worried bout it you can swap one from a single cam motor.

 

oh what the hell...put a circle on it...looking is far too much work...

 

I cant see what you are referring to but from your description I would assume that you are talking about the purge control solenoid. You need that hooked up. Dont know what it does but they break very easily. I took some super glue and glued the connector back onto the unit.

EDIT: OK I did Find it. Yup thats the purge control solenoid.

i think thats what hes talking about but if you cirle it it will help clarify

 

man you guys made me install photoshop just to circle this thing.LOL

anyways do i really need this one. i was just thinking of pluging the hole and cut that plastic clip from the harness, then use that same clip to wire my secondaries

 

yeah thats your purge control it hooks up to the evap canister

 

EVAP purge soleniod.

jerk that thing off and plug where it went. It's useless.

yeah totally why does your pressurized gas system need somewhere to vent excess gas fumes???

I guess in "stunnerville" they don't car about car fires.... I know it's not that big a risk but I would NOT eliminate this piece...

maybe it's standard practice in a swap (I don't know) but I would not remove that from my car... it's there for a reason... one of which being to redirect the flow of excess fuel/fuel fumes... not something I'd eliminate.

 

that looks like the evap purge solenoid

 

mine fell off during my swap its hanging on a vacuum line under my intake manifold i still have it hooked up though
