idle air control valve...never given them any thought until i realised the forester engine i bought didn't have one...normally it goes into the throttlebody you can see it between the coils and the intercooler

knowing a new one would cost more than i paid for the engine i had to think of something else...i have a couple of the old style ones...

and all they do is bypass air when the butterfly is closed...so made an adapter

here you can see the airway thru the throttlebody

hopefully that will keep the ECU happy馃槀

rocknrob 路
joel do you know none of your pics are visible cos you've exceeded your limit on photobucket(how could that happen?)
Joel 路
yeah, i havent exceeded any limits, my photobuckets still only 10% full
exceeded bandwidth just means people on the internet have viewed my pics more times than photobucket can handle
it rolls over to a new month in a few days then they'll be back up
