What connects to the intake manifold?

[BurnBarfield]

This is a very simple question, but as I am trying to put the car back together I have no idea...

What bolts to the back of the intake manifold other than the throttle cable? There are two more bolts, closer to the throttle body and I can't figure out what is supposed to bolt to it there.

Please don't tell me to look at a Hayne's because I can not find it in there, nor does looking at the CAPS system help me..

Directly under the TB? egr valve?

Yea, I would say EGR valve. It looks like a mini blow off valve and has a diamond shape mounting point. Are they two 2-3" 12mm bolts?

From your description I believe thats where the backside support bracket bolts to the mani. A picture would help here, though. The EGR port comes right off of the #1 runner where it mounts to the head. From you description you sound like your talking about the firewall side of the IM plenum. Am I right??

It is actually right next to the throttle cable bracket bolts, between them and the line for the brake booster.

There are bolts vertical of one another.. It is on the same level as the throttle cable

Some times they put adinatle(SP) attachment points for different models or options. I am not that up on 2Gs but I have seen it done more than once on other cars.

If they're vertical, then the only thing I can think of is the bracket for the EGR hoses. Did you remove your EGR system?

 

[BurnBarfield]

Yeah, I have an EGR blockoff..

I guess it is just something to ignore then, I just really wanted to make sure I wasn't missing something. Thanks guys.

Can you take a picture? Is it the grounding bracket?

I second the idea of posting a picture.

Or can you at least point it out in one of these pictures?
