my secondaries are open all da time aniwaiis...i got no vacuum going to the valve...prob a puncture in the line... i doubt its for the secondaries...aren't the secondaries controlled only by the valve on the intake manifold?? this part is all the way on top of the passenger side motor mount under the intake pipe...and has a 2 wire solenoid..

its for the valve on the air intake resonator. if you have an after market intake its pointless because you should have removed the resonator.

The IAB's are located underneath the INtake manifold (a black plastic bos with vaccuum lines and one solenoid with two wires. They control your seccondaries with a vaccum line that hooks up to the diaphraam on the drivers side of the engine somewhat close to the fuel rail/IM. Just wanted to clear up any miss info, even though you already have it figured out.

just plug the line going into the IM or your idle will mess up. Once you install an aftermarket intake you can remove all that junk along with the resonator in the bumper.

Dude if you knew anything at all youd know that the IAB vacuum box isnt mounted by the motor mount, its mounted under the intake manifold. Dont be one of those guys that gives out false info and swears they are right.
