Another Air Removal Quesion
Another Air Removal Quesion O.K., I read all the stickies and did searches, but the pics are gone on most of the removal write ups and some people have different ideas. My car is a 2000 so I have that thing on the back of intake manifold that all the hoses go into and looks like it has a spark plug boot on top. I remove this right? Is that all I have to do is unbolt it from the head and pull the hoses out? Any help is appreciated.
The AIR diverter valve that has all the bigger AIR hoses connected to it all comes out.
You have two choices on how to plug the vacuum hose at the back of the intake.
In the first pic you can plug the hose with the red L drawn on it (you'll be removing that whole solenoid anyway)
Or you can feel around the back of the intake, remove that hose, and plug it. Second pic.

Thanks for the info. Are you saying that the whole switch you have circled in the first picture gets removed? what does that other hose underneath the one you have marked go to?
That other hose I believe went to the AIR diverter valve.
So the only things you need to plug are the back of the intake, and the exhaust manifolds.
