I'm going NS (the NS thread has been a big help, thanks!) and I bought a block off plate kit. I basically want to remove as many solenoids as possible. So I have these two things on the underside of my UIM. One appears to be a solenoid but I can't figure out what it controls. The other is a tube that (if I remember correctly) connects to a large nipple on the intake elbow. I have block-off plates for them, but I don't know what they are. So I'd like to find out what they are before I remove them. Can anybody help me out? Thanks.

 

i am pretty sure you can block of the tube thats for the aws...as long as you block off the nipple on the elbow or get a greddy style elbow. and i think the other thing is the idle controller...i would keep that.

 

Yeah if that AWS then its gone. The PFC that is going in would have taken care of that anyways. And the idle controller is probably pretty important Thanks!

 

yeah that big pipe is for the aws. if you have a plate where the aws solenoid was (and i see you do) you can just take the tube off, no need for another plate. just be sure to do something about the large nipple on the throttle body elbow, i used a coolant line cap from kragen.

 

JUST LKE THEY SAID, BLOCK THEM OFF.....
