This hose isn't there and I was wondering what this paticular opening connects to and if it hurts not having it connected..... I found it while replacing the starter.

(not my pic obviously)





Also, another question. The previous owner that did the swap on the car used a generic rubber hose to connect the nipple that comes off the cat/resonator. (full racing beat exhaust) Then ran it to a connection similar to this one, but it is facing the firewall and it looks to be attatched to the same assembly or something close to it, is this for my 6port actuator???

If it is that would be the proper diamerter of clamp style metal tubing should i go with to ensure full operation of the actuators?

Thanks in advance. Sorry but i have yet to find my freaking camera.... to give the actual pics.

Probably goes to the air pump

that one coming off the ACV facing the right side of the car is the dump for the air pump air, if you follow that forward, it goes into a little silencer so you dont have to hear the mooing

the one that goes to the exhaust goes to the stock main catylitic converter, mostly cruising. its not really hot there, generic hose is fine

Well the hose isn't fine its actually hard as a rock and has a hole in it from the heat. I thought the one on the front goes to the air pump. From what i can tell.

Ok now since i've replaced the starter i've ran into some deep doo doo. Whenever i crank the car i can only hear the starter turning and i see the belts and fan moving. It turns at a steady speed and meets no resistance and i don't hear the motor even atempt a "duh dun dun duh dun dun duh dun dun duh dun dun"

It's just a solid "duuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuhn"

Are my seals shot???? I've never heard of apex seals going out on just starting the car.... When this problem first happened i saw a spark i the location where my battery is and after that all i got is what i get now.

Is sticking wads of shop towel's in there and cranking it good enough??? LOL It blew them out and while it was turning i heard distinct wooshing noises.
