Title: A hose connector near the throttle body Post by: lukasdeopalenica on November 12, 2012, 08:53:52 PM Guys,
What should be connected to this port? The connector is of about 6mm diameter and circled in the attached picture. It does look like a vacuum outlet for something, however I can not find any element under the bonnet that is not connected yet. Should it be plugged? I am getting ready to start-up the engine after rebuilt... Title: Re: A hose connector near the throttle body Post by: thecolonel on November 12, 2012, 10:17:02 PM I imagine one is for brake servo.

Couldn't really find any better pics to show, but if you look at the following links your get the idea. (scroll down a bit on the 1st one)

I recon it is for heat up the inlet manifold, am I right? I checked, and there are two connectors on the throttle body. Can I leave them not connected? I cannot find outputs on the water rails ::)
