I was checking out the engine in my 96 3.2, and i found something that i dont recognize. it is between the throttle body and the air box. I thought it was a MAF sensor, but after i took the intake tube off, i saw that it was what looked like another throttle...but it's electronically controlled. What is this for?
Looking online, i havent seen any other 3.2s with it...
I will try to post some pictures in a little while.

 

This is mass air flow sensor on my 2.5TL.

good luck

 

this thingy. The boot between it and the throttlebody says TCS, so i can assume that its part of the Traction Control System?

 

And it doesnt look like the link worked... try this http://s894.photobucket.com/albums/ac148/96acura32tl/

 

That IS the traction control system.

P.S. Pic fixed:

 

rad. I would have thought this car would have a MAF though. ah well.

 

According to my ODBII machine, it does.

 

hmm. I wonder where it is...I wanted to clean it.

 

I looked through the 3.2 TL manual and no MAF sensor. The part on the intake is indeed part of TCS.

good luck

 

I just looked it up at work, and the 2.5 has one, but the 3.2 uses a MAP sensor.

 

I took the MAP sensor off of my 3.5 and it runs fine, haha.
