Under the air box is ruber hose that lead to a round ball type thing then from that a rubber hose to a black mufller type thing that has a hose that leads out to infront of the rad connected to nothing

WTF is it???

BTW its a gslse

 

Darn good question, I’ve seen it, I’ve look at, but I have no ideal what it is! Probably some sort of emissions thingy deal.

 

picture?

 

I think it has to do with the acv???

my air pump is already gone but i left my acv there cuz i dnt have a block off plate(i had plugged the hose with a piece of cork).

I just got my acv cover plate from mazdatrix.
And i was gonna take off the ACV (at least i think that was it) and the part that me and POSracer are trying to indentify is connected to it.Can i remove that mystere hose type thigny too

 

sorry got no digi cam.
and i looked for pics on the net and couldnt find any.

 

I’ll try to shoot a picture of it tonight.

 

When your air valve isn't directing air into the Cat. or where ever it sends the air from air pump, it must get rid of the air some where. The black cylindical thingy is a muffler. Without the muffler, would hear an annoying sound coming from the air that is being redirected out of the air valve. If you have removed the valve and or air pump, you should just unbolt it and discard since it ain't doing anything down there. I removed mine last night. Since it is under the air box, you won't notice much increase in engine compartment space unfortunately. And it doesn't weight very much.

 

Can’t get a good picture of it! Sorry

 

WOW.
i removed the ACV now and the hose mufler thingny and my engine bay looks super clean now, and i can see the 6 port actuators better now too.


I had to put in new bolts tho cause the acv was much thicker than the acv block off plate.

 

maybe i;ll try that
