Looks like an A.I.R. Vacuum solenoid... Connects to the air pump.

This diagram is from a 95 car... This sticker was placed over the factory original after an update/recall. Your 97 may be similar.

Hmmm... I dont recall that on my 1995 Z28. Might have been a Calif. emmision thing but then again it has been a long time since stripped the AIR off.

Mine never got it, because I never had the recall done.

its on the right hand side if ur looking at the car like mid or more to the back of the motor and yeah i think its for cali bc i have it on my 97

BadBirdie

is it in the same location as the second pic from jb442? it has a small clip on it and i cant figure out what it clips to. it has a thin black hose going to it but is there something else that plugs into the prong like things on it? i can take a cell pic of where it sits in my engine bay tomorrow if that will help.

extra parts... i think i had it on my 96

keithcampbell

i will tomorrow as well when there is light but il pm u my number i just put a new one on to pass smog but im taking it off soon... it should have like a braket that it slides on to and then locks when pushed down all the way. im going to go tey and take a pic right now but i only have the on i think but il look again to make sure

keithcampbell

I couldn't find a good picture since I'm at work, but I believe you can see the wiring in this picture I found on eBay:

Im actually dealing with the same issue now. None of the videos Ive seen about removing the AIR system have mentioned removing this solenoid at all. i was thinking about removing it and capping off the vacuum port on the intake, but i wasn't sure. Its not plugged into anything and there isn't a plug for it anywhere i can see.

so did you get rid of this? Im just putting my engine back in and put long tubes, deleted AIR and egr and was wondering if it could be deleted.

Same with mine. Mine is apparently non-functional because it didn't seem to be hooked up to anything.

I paid $1500 to have a head gasket replaced in and a full tune up on fluids and brakes because she currently resides 4 hours away in my parents garage and I couldn't get back to do it myself.....(their goes my LE2 heads)..........you might ask why well she sat for 4 years during me getting married, starting a career, having 2 children but now she is ready to come home

Since you cut part of the roof away you should get weld-on subframe connectors if you don't already have them. Lots of t-top owners have complained in years past about a creaking chassis.
