The only vac pipe I can see there is the one i tried drawing in. It connect to the back of that gadget there and the other end goes to the back of the throttle.

There are 2 more. One goes to the fuel consumption gauge in the cluster and the other goes to the ignition management box.

HAHAHA thanks UDC....typing to fast...i meant the one in the cluster

i reconnected them all as the one is the cluster was off...there were 2 that was hanging under the trottle and i put those onto the throttle body pipe as it had 2 outlets...

just a question off the topic...the ISV valve when you turn the key on it should buzz or vibrate right ?....does this do this constantly or does it which on / off

thanks panic...

mine is running constanly...however the idle is still rough and when you come to a stop it swtches off or idles very low...

i was reading on some forums, that i should try clean it with some electrical parts cleaner / throttle body cleaner... as it might be clogged internally...

do you think this would help till i find another one ?

How does brakes feel? Please take note that the brake booster plays part to maintain idle on your car.
