A.i.r. ? So I was looking at the A.I.R. system the other day trying to locate all the pieces that I would need to remove, and I discovered that the previous owner has removed the box or solenoid or whatever is suppose to be behind the driver's side light and replaced it with a little breather filter. So now I'm curious how this is effecting my engine? Isn't it basicly an exhaust leak right now? Or is there a solenoid keeping it from being open all the time? My first guess would be not, because of the amount of crud on the breather. I now believe I know where the exhaust fumes I've been smelling are coming from! Any input?
A check valve in the air system should only make it flow from the pump to the air system. Most cars have the check valve fail. I say if you can, remove the entire system. (When you get headers or what not)
You can buy block off plates, but I'm not sure which sponsors sell them. Just look around. Or, you could just make them yourself.

It's normal.
When you get an air lid, you no longer have the 'nub' for that air hose, since it was on the stock air box. Thus, you get a small breather filter. No it is not an exhaust leak and no you will not smell any fumes because of it.
