ok so i bought a fmic, im in the middle of installing it, but i broke something.

its a sensor right near the compression tube there is 4 of them in a row i broke the tab off the blue one now i need a new one....what is this sensor for..

and also any one who has done a fmic where did u hook up the vac lines
one set plugged into the tmic ( 2 lines ) ( also has a sensor attached to a little cylinder unit )

and there is one that connects to the pipe from the intake tube ( i hooked it up to the pipe ) but one more that connects to the IM..do i plug these? remove them ?
i need help please...

prolly so confusing but im trying

thanks

 

No car information and a profile that says you drive an MX-3 is going to make diagnosis very difficult. Adding in this information and a picture of what you're talking about will go a long way towards helping.

ok well heres pics of my issues with this fmic... please someone help i wanna fire it up

vac line 1 ( squished in the middle there )


vac line 2


vac line 3 ( un-used nipple )


thanks for anyhelp.. just need to know where to put them ..cap em or tap into other lines etc.

 

1) Air feed line for the BAC. You can technically just remove the hose and have it open to air. Some people do this, but I like the idea of putting a small filter over the inlet.

2) Air feed line for ASV. Three options here. You can get it a metered air source (before throttle plates), cap it off at the ASV, or remove the ASV and use a block off plate. The ASV helps with loads caused by things like power steering, but with a FMIC, you probably removed that.

3) Air feed line for AWS solenoid. It's a useless device. Remove it and cap the nipple on the manifold.
