what did you guys use to block the tube for the aws when you installed the greddy elbow?

 

I just stuck a brass plug in the hose.

 

does it build any pressure to pop anything out? or what?

 

That's the AWS (Accelerated Warm-up System) hose.

ok i know thats the AWS hose, i read thos links and 1 says you can cap it off.. what im wondering if it builds pressure so i dont get something that pops it off.

 

covered it with a plastic cap hasnt blown off yet.

 

Remove the complete AWS with a blocking plate and if still on a stock ecu, use a resistor for the ecu load.

 

Awhile back, I tried plugging it w/ cap but the car stalled out randomly within 5 seconds upon crank (can't have none of that). Instead, I put a mini-air breather.

 

i have a pfc cewrx

 

I think most people use those plastic/rubber chair legs, you can get them at wal-mart for like a $2. I'm temporarily using a wheel lock nut (the cylinder one with a star key on one end), I plugged it into the hose that was attached to the oem elbow. As far as I have been able to understabd there is no pressure or vacuum in that hose/pipe, the plug is so that nothing gets inside of it.

 

Same here.

 

I put my finger in there but quickly realized I had issues.



It shouldn't even function with the PFC. Unplug it from the harness and put a BOP on it. Use a bolt until you get the time.

 

whell if it dont function with the pfc couldnt i just let the hose hang?

 

any noticeable difference between capping it off and putting a breather filter?

 

Don't ghetto-rig your car. Take off the UIM and install two block off plates, one for the AWS solenoid/valve and one for the AWS pipe. Make sure the mating surface is clean and use a thin layer of silicone.

$10 per plate here:
