Post by **aza013** » Fri Aug 31, 2007 8:57 pm

I just did a search and also looked in the diy and could not find any thing on this ( I may have missed it )
I just got the CAI done on the car and a vac hose from it looks like just under the intake manafold is not hooked up to any thing but befor it was atached to the air intake pipe just befor it went to the TB.
due to this the car is finding it hard to start, when I blocked the hose it starts first go can I just colse off the hose or do I kneed to atach it to the air intake pipe

I have placed a bult in the end to block and starts first go

Or get a breather filter - looks like a tiny pod filter: http://cgi.ebay.com.au/NEW-UNIVERSAL-ME ... dZViewItem
(Not recommending this seller/item, just first to catch my eye on a search)

Measure tube size first though to make sure it'll fit. Maybe Repco?

Its the PCV valve/pipe.

Either put a breather or attatch it.

I just had a peep in my garage Aza, I've got a filter for it if you want.

However, I'd recommend hooking it up somehow. Its a metered air flow (ie measured by the ECU) & as such really should be hooked up.
