Hey guys,
I'm new to the forum so I'm hoping for a little bit of help here. I'm writing about the green and black VTCS delay valve that sits on the top left part of the intake manifold (looking from the front of the car). My shop manual says this is supposed to have air blowing through it in one direction, but I can't get air to go through in either direction.
My question is this - would it do any harm to remove this valve and do a straight connection between the two hoses? If so, is it harming my engine that the current check valve is not working? The part is about $35 from the dealership, and I'm a poor, poor college student who doesn't want to spend money on unecessary stuff.
Thanks in advance! (dance)
