Somebody's gotta know what this is:



I pulled it off the AIV's mounting bracket when i did the AIV removal on my 240. It has a eletrical connector thats just sitting open right now and 2 vacuum lines running to it from the throttle body area.Is it nessesary to reconnect this to the plug/vacuum lines or what? Maybe ill try in 240 chat if no answer.

like rob said, plug those things and leave the plug there. on a side note, the wiring for the connector is a 12V source that comes on with the ignition. its perfect for a relay...;)
