I need someone to tell me what this is

[talontsiboy24]

Im just wondering what this is where i pointed the red arrow to? it just seems something is wrong with that picture. its a wire attached to something i dunno.

also as u can see my throttle body nipples are all capped off but one and that one is running to my mbc so is that ok?

I'm pretty sure that your pointing to the throttle and the wire would be the throttle cable that goes to the pedal.

It's your idle switch.

oh thats what your pointing to ok . A better place for the mbc would be of the J-pipe.

 

[talontsiboy24]

seems like i need a new one dont u think? i mean from that link u guys gave me it shouldnt be exposed like that.

 

[SpawnedX]

Yes it would be wise to replace it .

 

[talontsiboy24]

will that be causing problems to start the car? where can i buy a new one from?

Looks like you just need to find the wire and rig it to go onto the terminal. It's meant to disconnect in that manner.

thats the idle stop switch the car will start with that unplugged, at least mine did and still does. try the dealer for the part.

the wire is already wrapped around the terminal but im thinkin its a problem? i dunno i moved it around when the car was idling and it didnt change a thing so i think its ok.

It's a very archaic design, if the wire is wrapped around tightly that's fine.

Just put a spade terminal on the end of the wire and plug it in the way its supposed to be. It comes with a rubber boot from the factory but they deteriorate with time and you end up with what you have now.

 

[talontsiboy24]

ok but my mbc seems to be connected wrong like one of the lines from my mbc is going to the throttle body nipple should it go someplace else or is that ok?

 

[SpawnedX]

I usually T mine off the FPR Vaacuum line. Then when I got a FMIC I went off the ICP for it.

As I told you, the pressure line for your MBC should be tapped from an intercooler pipe/compressor housing nipple. You may have to drill and tap to install a nipple in your intercooler pipe if your current ones don't come equipped with a nipple.

The best place to have the MBC is off the J-pipe from the turbo going to your intercooler.

is an example.

so what do i need to do in order to run it to the j-pipe? like what tools and stuff needed since i have no hole in the pipe right now?

A drill and a tap would be necessary. Bit and tap size will depend on how big of a nipple you decide to install. 1/8" to 1/4" NPT work fine. Match the hose barb size to your vacuum line size.
