HI all, On doing my clutch system I see that the air pipe (on the cat ) is blocked, and the pipe on the split valve (that go on tha actator 5 and 6 port) are disconnected.. This is it good for the cat ?? should I reconnect tha air pipe ??(tha actuator isn't working) but I have wiring it !

that cats will clog w/o air getting to them, so if u still have an air pump, u should just connect the pipe, even if your ports are wired open.

the split air pipe only adds air to the cat while cruising in 5th gear.

the trannys have a 5th gear switch. they also run leaner in 5th gear for better highway millage. you can even see that on a A/F gauge.



the switch also stops the "shift" light from comming on while in 5th gear if you have one
