hi all, when i first did my engine conversion of a c20xe the later type engine, this sensor below air sucking in to it which caused the revs to sit a little bit higher than normal so all i did was blank of the hole where the air was coming in through as you can see in the picture with the see through pipe on and bolt, does anyone know what sensor this is and where it connects to? one pipe is connected to the bottom of the throttle body i just dont know where the other goes

2nded? does it do much if its the fuel tank vent valve, i had a random pipe in my engine bay left over ages ago but i just left it as i didnt know where it went, it was one of the plastic kind of tubes that are really thin

its pretty much redundant on a nova but id leave it plugged in as it'll throw up the eml
