Steve Posted February 2, 2008 Share Posted February 2, 2008 It sits behind the IACV Valve towards the back of the plenum Edit: You will need to remove the valve as it sits between this and the plenum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Posted February 2, 2008 Share Posted February 2, 2008 Possibly yes. Although i have never tried it without it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tricky-Ricky Posted February 2, 2008 Share Posted February 2, 2008 Doesn't look like the IACV bit that mine has, its in two pieces a plastic spacer and a one way valve made of metal with a rubber flap valve. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

123tom123tom Posted February 2, 2008 Author Share Posted February 2, 2008 yes i remember that bit metal valve got to get it the correct way when you take the icv off and back on again.... so any ideas what this could be Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ric Posted February 2, 2008 Share Posted February 2, 2008 never seen that before, im guessing aftermarket or it shouldnt be here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
123tom123tom Posted February 2, 2008 Author Share Posted February 2, 2008 it nothing to do with the fuel rail or anything.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colsoop Posted February 3, 2008 Share Posted February 3, 2008 That is a little filter that sits inside one of those little black pots on the throttle body. The part that smooths the closing of the butterfly. The cap just puls off to reveal the part you have there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DannoSupra Posted February 3, 2008 Share Posted February 3, 2008 Have a look at attached pic Edit: just had a proper look at your pics... might not be that one im thinling of! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Posted February 3, 2008 Share Posted February 3, 2008 I believe it sits inside this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colsoop Posted February 3, 2008 Share Posted February 3, 2008 so could this cause idle problems if it was missing Nope, not unless the part Rob has in his pic was missing too. The part DannoSupra highlighted could cause idle issues though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
123tom123tom Posted February 3, 2008 Author Share Posted February 3, 2008 yes it sits inside the pic rob has posted cheers guys, great advise, i would have never guessed where that came from. what part on th engine gives the car a steady idle at low revs, mine when slowing down, the revs drop obviously, but mine kind of gets confused, it jumps about like it is trying to cut, if i put it in neutral it seems to find itself kind of, but the car is idling about 500rpm... how do i pick this up to 700....
