1) If you haven't rebuilt your engine and removed everything from the car to be painted you can't laugh.
2) If you have....you understand.

My problem is that I don't know if my engine rebuilder, my turbo rebuilder, or my tranny rebuilder replaced this gasket or I forgot to put it in. But I've got the old one and new one so I'm concerned even though after 20 years I've never failed to replace a gasket. So if someone can tell me what it is I can check to see if he put it in. The gasket is odd because the hole is off center and it's the only one like it.

Thanks

 

Never seen it. It looks like a turbo oil return line gasket, but the hole is too far off center.

 

Your right. I checked there first.

 

maybe the AWS pipe going into the bottom side of the UIM...( the one with the hose that goes to the stock elbow) Or the idle air control solenoid...I think it is one of those 2.Hopefully! Good luck!

Since my UIM was to be powder coated I had removed everything and the UIM and air control system was the 1st place I checked. I have checked all of the obvious places!

But thanks for your help anyway.

It's not the idle control valve solenoid...I took mine off once and it had 2 circular openings on the underside.
