only rescently noticed this, its sucking in alot of air when the car is running. when i put i put my finger over this, the revs drop about 1000. am i right in saying that this should be connected the the end of the air filter, the hot air feed? and that i should just plug it up? help much appreciated

it idles fine with it blocked. but if its idling at about 1000 with that pipe NOT blocked, and i block it, the engine cuts out. sometimes it idles at 2000, sometimes 1500 and sometimes at 1000 lol

That should be connected via a small tube to the air filter box/housing.
So it wont be blocked.

If your using an after market filter, you need to block that hose off ;)

well its coming out just below the air filter, and no not connected to anything anymore. it was connected to the hot air feed on original air filter. i will just block it up, thats the right thing to do. cheers
