I'll pretty much need the whole assembly. There's the AAC valve, then behind that and above it is that long metal deal and that has snapped off. I'm not around my engine right now so i'm not sure but i think they are on 2 seperate plates and i might just be able to get the back one with that piece on it, but i don't know. If you could help me out i'd really appreciate it.

Hey Doogz--

Just wondering if you ordered your engine from Venus? I ask because we just got a CA clip in for a customer from them and the AAC valve and that other part were both broken on our clip too. I was wondering if this is a common problem they have with shipping there motors.

Yep, got it from Venus. You can tell that they had stuff sitting on it because the firewall was caved in a bit and the hinges for the hood were all bent over.

Hey Doogz-

I just took some pictures of our broken assembly with a digi cam and e-mailed them to venus and they have new ones on the way for us. You should give that a try... we didn't have to pay a cent which is how it should be.

doogz, do you just need the FCID and AAC valve themselfs?? cause i just used a AAC valve off my 90 ka motor and it works !! just swap the inside piston thing with the one from the CA they are a bit differant ! same with the FCID! but yeah any AAV should work if the actuall plate they connect to is broke, contact the supplier and get that replaced since its not on u.s cars , i dont think!

Jon- I don't use AIM...for some reason i have always disliked it. I'll try going to one of my friends houses later that has it and seeing if you are on.

Matt-I like the pic idea...especially the free part. I'll give it a try and hopefully they'll help me out too.
