nutt7 Posted March 12, 2004 Share Posted March 12, 2004 86 ea82t on the back of my intake manifold (passenger side) there is a sensor with 2 or 3 vacuum lines on it. What is it? I broke the end tube for the vac line thats the farthest out and have the vac line super glued on:) the vac lines run to the charcoal canister (at least the broken one does) I would like to replace it but I dont know its name. thanks eric Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nutt7 Posted March 12, 2004 Author Share Posted March 12, 2004 I thought the IAC had an electrical connector...im pretty sure this sensor doesnt...I could be wrong... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
subiemech85 Posted March 12, 2004 Share Posted March 12, 2004 may be purge control solonoid you can remove the canistier system for better perforance, your car will thank and reward you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meeky Moose Posted March 12, 2004 Share Posted March 12, 2004 my FSM calls it a thermo switch.. it controls vacuum to the disty according to temperature.. $145 at the dealer.. dealer only part.. luckily i got mine from someone on the board.. its only found on 85' and 86' ea82T's.. 87 and up did not have this.. good luck in your search.. you can bypass it completely and the car will run like crap when its cold but at normal temp the car will run like it had a new switch.. to bypass it use 3 short pieces of tubuing and a t-connector.. route the hoses so they all go into the t-connector and the 3 metal lines that come from the intake.. its a good temporary fix..

nutt7 Posted March 12, 2004 Author Share Posted March 12, 2004 wow. $145 thats no good...I think I will leave it rigged for now and just keep a 'T' and some vac lines in the car JIC. Thanks for your help guys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rallyruss Posted March 12, 2004 Share Posted March 12, 2004 yeah on most cars its called ported vacume switch. you can most likely take it to a parts store and match one up. I used to do that for customers back in the day when I worked parts. aftermarket ones are alot cheaper too. just need to figure which ports are normaly open or closed. (blow thru them) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markman34 Posted June 14, 2004 Share Posted June 14, 2004 I am wondering about a solonoid valve and it's proper operation. The valve in question ends up going to the purge canister. (purge canister solioid valve) Error code 35 on the ecu Car runs great hot or cold My question: when i applied 12 volts to the valve there was no response. I expected that a voltage on the valve would cause it to bypass to the vent on the valve. Any Ideas anyone? As well, What would be the procedure for bypassing the purge canister. a couple of tees and a valved bypass line? or, just tie them to eachother and ignore the vacume line.
