so I just noticed this in my engine bay on friday and finally found a camera lol

is it just a poorly made "TB spacer" that a previous owner couldve made somehow?

(I have an arrow pointing to it)


thanks for the help!

 

That thing looks huge! Maybe a ghetto ass P2R?

 

mmm i checked out the P2R website and the car they show has it too...?
maybe its just part of the stock engine?

 

I've never noticed that.........

Now I got to look at mine lol

 

^ Shouldn't you be working on that key?!

 

Its an RUBBER, TCS CONTROL MOUNTING, mine was dry rotted and created a vacuum leak.

Traction control system?

what happens when you get the leak?

 

Its not the entire tcs, just part of it. Any vacuum leak is going to make your rpm rise and fall constantly. Sounds like your car is breathing really heavily. The best way to find find where the leak is coming from is to take some parts cleaner spray and spray around the engine. When the engine sounds different thats when you know where the leak is.

 

I was just wondering because my TCS light is coming on along with the ! light every month or so and when I turn my car off it goes away was wondering if that could cause it

 

Hasn't arrived yet

 

that's just part of the VSA system. 6MT's don't have it.......thank god

 

so its a natural part of the car that doesn't need to be worried about until something starts going wrong? lol
something like, is it natural for my car to idle at 1000rpm?

 

^ well actually once your engine is at normal operating temperature, it should idle at less than 1000 RPM. It should be close to 500 I believe

 

The normal idle is 750-800rpm I believe.

 

Thats what mine idle's at.

 

is it the compression ratio that determines the idle? my friend thinks mine is too high becuz his tl-p idles at 500rpm and mine stays at 1000rpm even though it could be at "normal operating temperature"

 

I think the device that controls the idle is called the idle control valve or something.

 

i dont have one

 

^ do you have a Type-S engine?

 

Nope.

 

nope

 

maybe thats why you dont have it then...i unno seems to be like a weird plastic bit that the type-s motor has
