Technical What is this????

[dazzo666]

Hi all, Can any one tell me what this valve is and the purpose of it please.....
I ask this because there is 1 wire which is in mid air with nowhere for it to attatch, surely it must be attatched to something , i cannot find a location for it........ MMMmmmm im baffled!!




oh yeah its located near the battery rear where the suspention turret is...
i think its a air valve of some description but ????

if the tube goes to the carb or inlet manifold and has a connector on it for a wire ,it could be for your power/economy lights.if you dont have these,please trace the pipe so we may get it right next time or description of pipes/wires going to or coming from it.also engine size and spec will help.......................................

ok, the car is a 1.4 straight carb model, 1990 spec,
there are 3 wires one black one green and the one which is not attatched is brown with a white stripe, also the tube from the valve goes to a t-piece which connects to the inlet/servo pipe....hope this helps,
oh the eco gauge works fine...

if it works i wouldn't worry. that's how i'm thinking with mine at the moment. my car has loads of plugs not connected withe anything. i'll have a look for the said piece tomorrow though if it's any help. can't imagine a 92 differering greatly from a 90 spec one. although they did update the engine sometime which increased power.

I love these sort of threads.. Shame I haven't been under the bonnet of a 1.4 carb since I was about 13

 

[maddogmorg]

there's quite a few under my bonnet. theres one which seems charred. ( quite a few things do so i'm wondering as to whether there has been a fire under the bonnet) which is nearish the battery. also there's one next to the distributor/lights but that's the ones off the top of my head. lol

 

[dazzo666]

i guess there are not many straight carb model owners left???

just need to know what it is and where the brown/white wire goes???

please help.............

 

[maddogmorg]

couldn't see anything like that anywhere.

i'm assuming it's an electric wire? in a non DGT the wiring diagrams are easy enough to follow. the DGT ones are pretty 'interesting'. i have a Brown and white wire in the LT circuit but obviously it wouldn't be that one.
