What are these and what does this do?
So upon my other adventures in my engine bay, I found a few things that were disconnected or not attached and I was hoping someone could help me identify them!
1.
as you can see there’s a vacuum line not attached anywhere. I found one just below it that is capped off, should I connect them? Or does anyone know specifically what that one does?
2.
Behind the intake manifold that guy is just hanging out by himself, where does that go? Or where should it go?
3.
What is that empty plug for?
I hope all these load up like they show, it’s difficult from your phone lol

It would be easier to help if you could tell us more about the car, I.E. year, mods, etc.
From what I can see you have a JDM car since the wiper motor and ABS are on the "Left" side of the engine bay. I think the cruise control would still live on that side of the engine bay and would explain the plug.
The unused vacuum line could be for EGR that doesn't exist on the JDM model?
These are just guesses and I could be wrong.

I have a 1992 RHD also. The 3rd pic, I have that same plug that doesnt go anywhere. Mine is locked in place to a bracket on the abs (the blue plastic in your pic). Mine doesnt have cruise control either so if thats what its for that makes sense.
the hose in pic 2 goes to what is I believe is the air control valve. Mine is attached.
i couldnt find the hose area in pic 1, if your car is missing the air control valve it may explain it.

Pic 2 is an air hose that should go to the air control valve (from the air pump I believe). I don't see the metal tube/nipple it connects to in your picture, but it could be hidden by the intake manifold.
All I see disconnected in Pic 1 is the hard vacuum line. I believe that is the line designated as empty in the FSM. If there is something else disconnected in that picture I must be overlooking it.
Can't help with Pic 3. Have not encountered that on my USDM car.

For pic one, the other hard vacuum line in capped off with a rubber cap, sits behind the water pump, I didn’t take a pic of that, but it sounds like I don’t need it connected anywhere.
pic 2 can anyone post a pic of what theirs looks like? Air control valve sounds somewhat important, I’m not 100% familiar with it, so if not please correct me if it’s ok to just be open like that.
Pic 3, my car doesn’t have cruise control either so I think that mystery is solved
thanks for all the help!

The air control valve is part of the emissions system, you can see some photos and discussion about it here: https://www.rx7club.com/new-member-r...-soot-1082502/

Well the car in that thread has a filter on the opposite end of the hoses going to the acv. On my car and a factory car it should be routed into the intake tube.
It seems like a previous owner deleted it, im not 100% sure on how that could affect the car or emissions but I dont think its uncommon to be removed, along with the rest of the emissions equipment.

Yea It is routed to the intake tube, I was wondering what they were lol the other seems to be connected somewhere i didn’t pay a ton of attention to it yet. Seems to have been running healthy otherwise, no filter like that other car either. But if the engine is sucking in air through the main intake what’s the point of the two hoses coming off the sides of it? Sorry if that’s a dumb question

1. This pipe is unused on your car and should be like this.
2. AVC is removed, guess whoever did the work couldn't be bothered to remove this part of the system. The pair of pipes bolted to the LIM can be removed and the ports blanked off.
3. This plug is for your ABS, looks like it's unplugged, should be a matching plug down there.

That wire doesn't look like stock, I think some boost controllers used a plug like that. Can be leftover from an old boost controller or something.
There does seem to be a lot of non-stock wiring in front of the fan in that picture.

I’m 90% sure mine is a 92 R1 with 99 spec pieces in it. The more I dig, the more I find out about this car that I was never told. There’s no sun roof, and I haven’t really looked hard enough for a temp sensor around the bumper. Maybe there was one before they put the 99 spec bumper on? I invite anyone to come take a look at mine and tell me what is supposed to be where and what’s not supposed to be where lolol I’m learning as I go, still somewhat newer to the rotary world
