June 21, 200520 yr number 1 looks like a purge selinoid for EGR system. does it have a vacume tube that goes over to your charcoal canister?
June 21, 200520 yr #1 is a dohicky and #2 is a thingamjig. yeah. #1 looks like the purge solinoid. i have no idea about #2
June 21, 200520 yr Author dohicky and thingamjig.......my thoughts exactly.......so what the heck a purge solinoid......whats it do?? Looks like its been jimmy rigged.
June 21, 200520 yr Author where would that be located?....the plastic trash can with vac hoses.... thanks
June 21, 200520 yr Author Laugh it up fuzz ball! Having fun on my expense......for shame.................thanks for at least looking! (yes that is a Star Wars line)
June 21, 200520 yr I have been looking in my FSM for what #2 is and I am not really coming up with much just possibly the Control Valve assembly????? Shame is I have sitting here on the kitchen floor a complete intake from an EA81 with that part on it..(Sorry Hocrest..shipping it out tomorrow!!))
June 21, 200520 yr Author Thanks again for looking.....I will definitely upload a better, clearer picture of #2.... One thing I do know about it, is that it has an L shaped rod coming out of it. When the car is off, I can push the rod in; when on, I can't push it at all (at least without breaking it). And it's located just left (that's passenger side left) of the carb. Cheers.........

Pull the air cleaner off and move some crap out of the way to see it more clearly. Wild guess here.... choke for the carb?
June 21, 200520 yr Author If your right, I'll admit my idoicy............though I learn something every day on the message board......hail USMB! thanks..........but I will upload the picture just in case.......I don't believe its functioning correctly
June 22, 200520 yr #2 is the Fast Idle control device for the AC system. When the AC is on it keeps the Idle from getting too low.

June 22, 200520 yr after reading all this i am slightly depressed i was looking forward to agreeing with the doodad and thingamagiggyoh well glad to know what it is
June 22, 200520 yr Author Between you and me, we know the true names of these parts.....everyone else is crazy. Question.........if the purge solinoid was defunct, would it result in a slight hesitation when accelerating??
June 22, 200520 yr Question.........if the purge solinoid was defunct, would it result in a slight hesitation when accelerating?? That would more likely be a bad accelerator pump.
June 22, 200520 yr Author So what is the purpose of the Purge Solenoid.......seems like an inconsequential expensive piece of garbage ...........
June 22, 200520 yr So what is the purpose of the Purge Solenoid.......seems like an inconsequential expensive piece of garbage ........... The Purge Solenoid is for evaporative emissions. The evap emissions system pulls the fuel vapors from the fuel tank an recycles them through the engine to be burned. Don't want those nasty fuel vapors getting into the air. So, yes............ seems like an inconsequential expensive piece of garbage ...........
