Okay...i don't know its real name but I'm taking out my fuel rail and snap the little black thing that goes directly under the dynamic chamber....
does someone have one laying around that i can buy?
here's a pic...

vacuum chamber
No it's the gonkalator valve. LOL. If it's just broken where it mounts i would not worry about it. Same thing happened to my se, it's that hard plastic. In other words if its not leaking, dont waste your money on it. Nice looking silicone hoses, but lose that frap oil filter, lol. rx7doctor.

The FSM refers to that part as the "Chamber", but what it actually does is adjust volume of the vacuum to help the BACV operate correctly.
The idea behind it is that when you apply vacuum (as from the DEI chamber) to a line, that vacuum pressure is applied through a very small aperature, which then passes any inconsistencies in flow through to the other end - there's no 'reservoir' so to speak, to keep the fluctuations of pressure from affecting the other end. These fluctuations in pressure would cause your BACV to be turning on and off every time you changed the vacuum in the DEI which occurs whenever you change throttle position or engine load.
To simplify; think of a garden hose full of water. If you turn the hose on at the spigot, you get water immediately squiring out of the other end. If you put the garden hose into a bucket, and then run a tap from that bucket into another length of hose, when you shut off the hose, you have stabilized the pressure using the bucket - so water continues to flow for a short time. Conversely, when you turn the hose back on, it takes a few seconds to fill the bucket before you get flow out of your tapped extension.
It functions much like a delay switch so that your BACV isn't constantly doing one thing or another. This would result in weird idle fluctuations caused by the BACV trying to compensate for rapidly changing vacuum suction.
Too long of an explanation? Does this help? Is anyone still reading??

dang...and here i thought it was where the antimatter went in order to create the warp bubble giving me 2,000,000 extra hp
hahaha...as always longduck you are a wealth of information
thanks for the explanation...
now if only someone has a spare sitting around to sell so i can finish putting her back together...
