unknown part on my engine

[big gra]

in the middle of rebuilding my 1.6gte engine. there is a part that is bolted onto were the manual fuel pump usually is on carb'd engines. it looks like a pump but i dont know what for and i dont have any pipes for it. cheers

off the top of my head I'd guess its the hot start valve, or possibly an ICV

[craig green]

Indeed that is the ICV, though the HAYNES refers to it as a secondary air device IIRC.

It is 110% an ICV

x1 3pin (IIRC) elec conection plugs into it, then theres x1 inlet pipe and x1 outlet pipe approx 12mm+ Dia

yep, thats the one, so is it air hoses running to it and were do they go to and from?

One comes off the AFM to T/B induction pipe (IIRC) and goes to said valve then goes onto.....cant remember lol

the otehr pipe will need to go the other side of the TB

[ste porter]

ifirc the other one goes to the inlet manifold somewhere near the end i will have a look as i could be wrong

[ste porter]

second thoughts looking at the pics of my old one it looks like the pipe disapears under the throttle boddie

[craig green]

Goes into a pipe at the back of the inlet plenum.
