Need A.I.R system removal tips... (sorry for askin guys)

Well, yes you can I guess, but its not a high current supply. I wouldn't have it operate anything more load intensive than a relay. I actually have my e-fan relay wired off a convenient plug thats right on the wiring for the ignition coil. I think its where a condensor is supposed to be, but the 86 doesn't actually have one.

You'll also get codes for the solenoids not being there, but that shouldn't be a big issue. If you want to make them go away, just use an appropriate sized resistor to fake the solenoid being there.

Is there a way to determine what this "appropriate sized resistor" would be??

exactly what the plan is, once I get around to installing e-fans and hard-wiring the power inverter

yep, get a DVM, pull wiring off solenoid in question, stick DVN leads into solenoid's plug, set DVM to ohms, measure resistance

I like that idea, gonna check the resistance tommorow.

Just make sure you figure out the power dissipation so you get the right wattage resistor. A bit of ohm's law math is what you need here, watts = volts * current. current you can find with this

volts / resistance = current. Volts will be about 13, resistance is whatever you measure on the solenoid.

Ahhh, almost forgot about Ohm's law.

Aight, then we can lead you step by step:



7. time to re-run the vacuum lines - from the vacuum tree on the back of the intake run a vacuum line to the EVR on the fender, then another line from the EVR to the EGR pot on the throttle body. Yes, that's all the vacuum lines you need for yer engine to run correctly.


That's it, pretty much, any questions?

I have removed all vacuum lines indicated in your post - and got rid of 75% of my sputtering miss - - although I have not re-run the lines I quoted from your post. I disconnected vacuum lines from three round things on the fender well but I don't know where to connect the line from the vacuum tree and from the egr pot... could you give me some direction on this?

and by the way - excellent post mikey... like I said, the vacuum lines removal has gotten rid of 75% of my intermittent sputter missing problem.

thanks for all your help mang!

Roompainter, check yer inbox - you got a PM.

Just for us guys that don't have any idea what you are talking about, what size res. should we get and how do we put it in?

Just leave the solenoids plugged in, and hide them somewhere outta sight - I had mine tucked in the very corner of the engine bay, near the blower motor.

Here, rusty bracket in top left corner of the pic, solenoids are mounted on its under side:

Not to revive a dead thread, but all the photos on here are gone. Anybody got any photos of the stuff/locations to remove things? How long does it take to remove all this?
