Just got a 2003 Protege5 with the 2.0 naturally aspirated engine and manual trans.
I’m a noob on these. It looks like someone had unplugged the green and white solenoid connectors on the intake, plugged the green one into where the white one was, and left the white connector unplugged. They left the vac line on the solenoid that previously had the green connector, but pulled the vac line off the solenoid that had the white connector and capped the port.
The car runs fine. I just noticed this and wondered why it was done. I’ve attached a pic showing what I mean.
