Hi Everyone,
New to Forum, just bought a 1.4 Tipo DGT, had it tuned etc,etc but still have problems starting when cold and idling still a bit erratic.
However noticed the other day that there is a hose connection on top of the engine(tappet cover) possibly for a hose, which appears to be missing!!!! and it looks as if the other end connects to the downpipe on the exaust near the manifold, does anyone know what this is???? and indeed if a pipe should be there, when I cover the hole at the engine end (on top of the rocker cover) the engine idling increases and seems much better:confused:

Many thanks in advance!!
Bests,
Rob

i'm assuming this is a carb instead of spi?

mine originally had a hose which is to get warm air from the exhaust manifold to the air box in the wheel arch. ideally if you could get a photo of what you are describing it would be best.
