lexus082 Posted May 7, 2006 Share Posted May 7, 2006 When I was removing the power steering pump I noticed the two hoses that connect to the valve were already removed accidentally. I am not sure as which hose goes to which "port" on the valve. Anyone know one hose goes from the valve back into the intake manifold/throttle body and the other hose goes back towards the fire wall I think.

If the hoses on the air control valve were installed backwards would the car have more of a tendency to stall out while making turns at lower rpm's. I just want to make sure I have those hoses hooked up properly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bolofd Posted October 2, 2006 Share Posted October 2, 2006 what exactly does the air control valve do??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jzz30 Posted October 2, 2006 Share Posted October 2, 2006 i think it can go either way. the air control valve varies steering effort dependant on engine speed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lexus082 Posted October 2, 2006 Author Share Posted October 2, 2006 Thanks I think your right also. I put on the vacuum hoses on and it works fine. I don't think it matters either. Just wasn't too sure as I did not see them connected before removing the pump. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
