Air injection contorl valve

I have a question reguarding the AICV that sits on the passengers side of the engine compartment. There are two holes, which one goes to the air tubes that come off the headers? Is is the tube on the passengers side or is it the tube that is towards the drivers side?

MANY THANKS!

Looking from the front top, there are two outlets....

The one on the left (or passenger side connection) goes straight back 12 inches or so and connects to a check valve/tube that drops back behind the engine......

The other connects to the AIR tube check valves (I believe theres a short hose (~2 inches) then a plastic splitter, the bottom part of the splitter connects to the passenger side AIR tube/check valve, the top of the splitter connects to a hose that runs behind the distributer and to the drivers side AIR tube.

Hope this helps....

I thought one hooked up to the AIR tubes of the passengers side header?

It does...

Guess my description is a little foggy.....

On the rear of AICV, there are 2 air outlets.

The passenger side outlet (away from the engine) connects to the check valve/tube that runs back to your CAT.

The air oulet nearest the engine runs into a split hose.....one side connects to the passenter AIR tube, the other connects to the drivers side AIR tube.

Better?
