Jake Posted June 2, 2007 Share Posted June 2, 2007 That's the Idle Control Valve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Posted June 2, 2007 Share Posted June 2, 2007 The two pipes next to each other are just water pipes, i would just block them off to stop any dirt geting in. The larger one on the end either needs a filter putting on or it needs some pipe putting on and plumbing into the air intake pipe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Armin Posted June 2, 2007 Share Posted June 2, 2007 Do not just block the water pipes, i think that the idle control on the supra is controlled itself by the watertemp and the idle motor closes when the right water temp is acchieved.

I don't think so, the ECU handles cold start idle by stepping the idle control. The coolant pipes are there to stop the valve icing up in very cold climates. Still, it's not a great idea to block them anyway, what's the point? The air intake you can stick a small K&N filter on on a Jspec with no MAF, but on a UK spec you must route a hose from the intake after the MAF.
