If not, where does it go to?

Thx alot.

 

i dunno, i'll check befor ei leave tonight for ya tho, if no one else has responded.

 

Someone please take a peek at there TII, its a 88. I am puting all this stuff back on, and I need to know whats up with this, thx

Robert

 

not really sure but it's nice to see someone else using a purolator oil filter!

 

I THINK it's the oil filler breather, and if so, then yes it should have something connected to it. Pressure builds up in there as things heat up and do all sorts of weird things, and something might fall in if it's open.

If you just block it off (without venting it) it can build up too much pressure and pop your dipstick right out of its hole, shouldn't be a big problem, but probably not happy if it ever falls out.

 

Has anyone got access to a S4 TII? can they go take a peek for me? To confirm whats up with this?

Thx

 

It goes to the solenoid rack, then goes into the TID. If you took it off, go buy a breather filter and put on it.

 

hmm... i thought that looked like a hose going to the little dashpot thing right at that area... oh well...

 

That looks like it goes to the center housing not the oil filler. In that case, air goes into the "crankcase" there. Yes it should be hooked up to something

 

Here ya go.



EDIT: Looked at the pic again and peejay might be right, but it's hard to tell from that angle. If the nipple's on the filler neck it's the line I've indicated, otherwise it's the one below it.

 

NZ convertible has it right on the vacuum diagram.

If you've gutted the vacuum spider, it's best to leave it open air vented. If you cap it, you'll pressurize the crankcase and get some MAJOR smoke.

Leaving it open will result in some oil seeping out from the fitting. Short term, that will work fine. Long term, you should get a vented catch can to catch the oil.

Hey guys I think I just figured out why my car has been smoking ever since I put in the new engine. I had that damn little tube capped off this whole time. I can't wait to go home and take it off and give it a try. THANKS GUYS! I'll let you know how it turns out.

 

I figured it all out I will take a pic of how it works and how it goes when i get home tonight..

thx for the help all.

 

I gutted the spider and ran that line to the charcoal canister and capped the lower one.

 

You'd be surprised how many people do that!

1FastT2, if you blocked both ports, damn straight that's your problem.

Well the one shown in the first post is capped and the one on the oil filler neck is left open. Im still hoping this will do the trick.

 

Im also hoping that maybe ill gain a few HP from not all the oil being pushed into the combustion champer.
