Correct me if I'm wrong on the air system???
 

I deleted everything dealing with that air system on my 02 camaro. There was that one vaccum line left behind the motor. It's sucking air and from what i've read i'm suppose to plug that in with a screw. Am i right????

yeah,i just threaded a screw in mine. it worked good enough for me. I also had to cap the hole in the air lid as well.

thanks man. just wanted to make sure i was reading it right before i done it. What did you use to cap the hole in the air lid?

Some ppl put an air filter on the end of it. Which is better, plug it or filter it? Where does that vaccum line go to?

I just found a small screw that fit tightly in there and mine has been like that for almost 2 years now with no problems.

:werd: I did the same. Found a small screw with a big head, but i put some RTV on the screw before putting it on. (cause im paranoid)

I don't think mine had any spare vacuum lines left over behind the motor when I pulled the AIR out. Then again mine is a 98, so maybe its different.

it is.

I would like to know this as well. Im about to install LT's and remove my air system on my 02 ta

The extra coil pack rail screw on the rear passenger side works nicely. You know, the one that is a bitch to get to and no one ever puts back in. It threads in nice and tight.

Recycling....I'm doin my part! :jest:

i went ahead and stuck a screw in there with a big head. Worked perfect. Even went as far as using one of those silver nice looking screws.

I have not plugged where my AIR system connects to the lid but I did plug the neck of the lid when I went to a larger MAF. I went to a Pontiac show in Ohio and they had an area that sold parts and stuff. I bought several sizes of these caps since I was not sure what size I would need.

These caps did have an inner lip on the back side of it that I thought might catch hole and stay. Since the neck of the lid is curved this didn't work. I took one that was slightly larger than the hole centered it and secured it with some gaffers tape. I then placed just enough (5 min) epoxy from the inside of the hole to fill the vacant area inside the cap and up in to the inside of the lid. The epoxy dried almost flush with the inside of the lid. That inner lip aided the epoxy in holding on to the cap. I feel that if the cap was smooth then the epoxy would have been able to adhere to it.

See the attachment for what it looks like on the outside. I guess if you go to an auto parts store you can find these style of caps.
