Hi all, I'm trying to source a few minor parts for my clip and I can't figure out either what to ask for at the parts desk or which US model car to ask for it from.

1) I believe this is the FICD? I don't know if I'll need to replace just the grey plug or if it'd be better to replace the plug and the solenoid thing itself.http://home.comcast.net/~redamnavit/ficd.jpg

2) I'm also missing one of the bolts from a bracket, and two from the valve cover...http://home.comcast.net/~redam...s.jpg

If anyone has any spares of these hanging around, or could tell me what bolt to use or car to order the FICD from, I'd appreciate it.

Thanks.

if you don't have AirCon you don't need the FICD, it raises idle revs for when the A/C is on, all CA's had it fitted regardless of whether the car had AC.

The bottom timing cover bolt is std M6 ~ 20mm long, the other is for a cable clip which is M5 ~ 10-15mm long but if you don't have the clip then I wouldn't worry.

Not sure about the PAS pump one, probably M8.

I do intend to keep AC so I'll still need to source one of those. I appreciate all the bolt sizes; beats hunting down ones off of other engines.

Mine was broken too, but they sent me a new one. I may actually have an extra. I'll check tomorrow.

anumeric, where in VA are you located? I'm going to try to hit up the local salvage yards in the next couple weeks; I'll see if I can find more than one of these things. Considering how ours broke identically it must be a fairly common casualty during shipping.
