FCID. It allows the motor to idle up when you turn the a/c on. 90% of them come broken and it is not needed unless you want a/c...in which case you will have to have custom lines made (the lines on the compressor need the CA fittings braised onto the KA lines)

If you HAVE to have A/C, and you can promise me that you will in fact use it, I can send you one. For free.

thank you so much, yea I shouldn't be using ac but if I do thanks for the offer. All I need to do is get some funds scrounged up and I should be joining the ranks of the CA owners!
