im looking into my engine bay, and to the right off of the gsr intake manifold theres a little pod with a vaccum hose on the top. it looked really lose so i pulled it and wa-la it wasnt connected to anything. where does this connect? and could this be the reason the vtec doesnt engage?

ne help would be great.... ill try to get a picture

 

bump i need help

 

IAB maybe? If so, that's not VTEC. Some people think it is, since it usually makes more noise when it opens the secondaries.

There should be a vacuum reservoir under the intake manifold, & a solenoid valve to close/open the secondaries.

 

dang i was hoping that was my problem since im getting great low end tourque and the engine just dies in vtec

 

If the hose is simply disconnected, the secondaries will be open. So your low end should suffer.

If the hose is disconnected but the secondaries are forced shut by wiring the little crank or whatever, then your top end should suffer.

Or maybe you're looking at something completely different. Pictures??

 

alright ill get some pics once i find my damn digital camera

 

the manifolds a 95 gsr

 

dang it wheres my digi cam

The vacuum tank is #10, the IAB control solenoid is #9.

 

its not #9 its the on the other side that #9 hose connects 2

 

thanks for the diagram

 

Looks like the hose broke off the IAB with it

 

so should i get an aftermarket intake manifold or just get a new IAB valve

 

 

ne ideas

But if you're really looking for an excuse to get a new manifold...
