Question Solenoid Rack lacks a solenoid?

First of all -- my car is a weird '91 Middle-East Spec NA FC

Basically, a S4 engine, GSL-SE ignition and S5 body.

So... I was checking my car, and I found the following in the Solenoid Rack:





Basically, according to the FSM, the "Anti-Afterburn Valve Solenoid" is missing...

You can see it here:



What should I do? Is this bad? Dangerous maybe?

Any help/information/feddback will be greatly appreciated!

There should be vacuum on one side and a hardline to the AAV on the other. It should be somewhere on the LIM around the ACV, as that's where it is on a US model. It's actually built into the ACV on ours.

While the car is running, put your finger over the open line in the picture. You'll be able to tell if it has vacuum to it. If it does, cap it. If it doesn't you can leave it or cap it anyway.

You can add one more thing to your list too: that model uses the S5 aux port activation setup. So the motor is S3/S4/S5 . Must be a blast trying to find the right info in the FSM...
