ok i'm first wth is this thing in the pic, and can it be removed without hurting anything

 

another

 

i removed mine when i installed my headers

 

but what is it, what does it do?

 

Air diverter valve. It is supposed to go from there to:

1. Your catalytic connection
2. To you exhaust manifolds.

There should be 2 electrical connectors in their but yours doesn't seem to be complete...

 

is that a bad thing or what? since its not working can i just pull it apart and remove it, i live in florida with no emissions checking. so......

 

i would think it would send a check engine light

 

so how were you able to remove yours without any proplem. I hate it because its got all th pipe there and covers the beauty of the engine.

 

I didnt actually remove it for good just to install the headers. I will remove all the emissions when i put my new engine in. I just have to get a prom burned with out the emissions.

 

maybe get this moved to the tech board or somethin they be able to help u better in there

 

how do i get it moved then?

 

either post a new 1 in the tech part or have the moderator move it

 

ok i got 2 new questions, 1, wth is this battery looking thing next to the air bix?



and




and is this stock ws6 inake running?

 

Dont' know about that intake.
The other things looks to be your fuel evap canister.

 

I removed all the emissions stuff.

The circled thing in the last pic is the purge canister soleniod stuff. I did keep that on my car and so should you. The EEC is considered emissions stuff, but it controls fuel vapor pressure and it sends it back into the throttle body. The thing you see in the pic is the heater control valve. The 2 sensors that were on the box in question, I mounted them on top of the AC compessor, just to retain something to plug the harness into.

 

It won't. The ECM does not monitor the the diverter valve solenoids nor the EVAP solenoid since they aren't critical to the engines running. It only switches them on or off so you can junk what's circled along with the AIR pump. I would also recommend keeping the EVAP canister. I remounted mine under that tray area so it wouldn't be in sight or in the way.
The air box is pretty much standard I believe for 85 to, I think, 88 or 89 TPI 'birds and also came on the v6ers.

 

so that intake mess is stock? I'm gonna goto home depot and get the pvc pipe i need to make my own cold air. I ordered a k&m filter from summit yesterday so it'll be here in a few days.

 

did those ram air type things come on any of these 3rd gens stock? i see so many of them it makes me wonder for some reason.

 

im 99.9% sure no 3rd gen birds or camaros came with any type of ram air item.

 

thx d00ds if i have any more questions be sure that i'll ask.
