mystery hose on 2.3k can anyone identify?
I think I may have tracked down the cause of my rough idle.

Unfortunately I cant seem to find the rest of the hose it attaches to!

any ideas where it should go?

googling the part number (a0021405560) tells me this is part of the 'Shut-Off Valve Air Injection System'

This is the secondary air injection valve. The hose is for open the valve with vacuum.

thanks, I've figured it out now.

but now I have a different hose that I cant identify.
Its not a vacuum hose, but comes off the elbow that connects to the throttle body. Its causing low pressure when the kompressor kick in, so I've tied a knot in it until I can work out where it goes.

Is there anyone who has a 2.3 who can check theirs for me?!

thanks.

This hose is going to the same switch for the SAI system.

That was it!

Looks like the last owner had it incorrectly connected .

I've attached the positive pressure hose to the bottom, the vacuum hose and the SAI valve to the top.
