Forgot to ask what im missing here. car runs fine and have had no issue other than feathering the throttle (or choking) when cold starting for about 45secs. then it runs fine, idles fine, pulls fine. just curious.


lines on the vaccuum? not sure where they go or if its hurting anything.


inbetween the oil cooler and radiator. not sure what they go to...


capped off?


theres another open plug by the headlamp. but theres no way this cable could reach that one...

thank you in advance.

 

the second picture is just your charging / discharging lines for your AC. You should find a cover for your high side line to keep dirt out. The other 2 Idunno

 

2nd pic is the connection for the auto trans cooler lines; means you probably have an aftermarket radiator. Unless you have an automatic trans, nothing goes there.

 

manual so that makes sense. ty!

 

The last is just a heat shield that can have a corrugated tube attached which goes to the air
cleaner. Helps with cold starts if the flapper in the stock air cleaner is working correctly.

Surprised you missed that one DD

The first picture is a mystery because its the rats nest or as I like to call it the Rays nest.
Ray (ray_green) can probably tell us what it is.

 

I thought he was asking about the electrical connector, not the heat stove riser.

I think it may go to the vacuum-power-valve solenoid on those cars that have them, which is mainly auto-trans builds and early Cali-spec manuals, but haven't had time to check & didn't want to give wrong info.

 

If this is a 1984/1985 engine, then something isn't right with the first two vacuum solenoids in the first picture. They are pointing the wrong direction. Looking at the FMOC, this is probably not a 1984/1985 engine. The picture I posted is a 1985. Not sure if the solenoids are the same.

 

i was wondering what the connector was. i took the tube of and the flap out and filled the hole up. (no problems with that) ty though!

 

car is an 82 but not sure what year engine this is. doubt its an original engine at 160k miles. just curious about what alls missing as the car runs fine like i said (other than having to choke or give it throttle for a sec on startup)

 

I couldn't find the service manual but I did find the parts manual for the '82 and it does show the first four solenoids (as viewed from the front of the engine) pointing towards the carb. So this means yours are on correctly. As far as the missing vaccum hose, the picture in the parts manual wasn't detailed enough to tell.

 

yeah and theres a picture under the hood that shows the rats nest. and all the hoses on the picture are on the car. but that last one doesnt show up on the picture and well theres no hoses on it and i see nowhere where theyd go. just curious as i dont like open holes lying around.


also curious about number 3. whats missing or is it capped off?

 

it looks like missing vacuum lines, but thats just a guess

 

The first picture of the vacuum lines - the top one (nearest the carb) connects to the idle compensator under the air filter

I can't quite make out the other hose. It probably connects to one of the electric vacuum solenoids.

As mentioned there should be a picture under your hood of the vacuum hose diagram.

 

there is an it doesnt show the 2 missing on the end. all the others are on the diagram and are there. idk if these are just for something not put in the car or what..
