What is this part? And do I need it?

[96blackcobra]

I am installing a v3 vortech w/ aftercooler and i'm about 80% done. I noticed this part still on my bench. It looks as if it were missing the "cap" and i'm not sure where it is. I searched and searched with no luck of finding the cap. The part # is E8AE-9H465-BA. Looks like it's part of the egr. It's located under the passenger side coil if that helps.

The part has two vacuum lines on it and a electrical connection. Will not having the "cap" cause a vacuum leak?

Thanks,

Sam

That is on the driver side...mine is below the passenger side coil.

emissions crap. no need for it (from my point of view)

Isn't that connected to the FPR and adds vacume to the AC controls?

Hmm id like to know this as well. For future reference lol.

Normally Closed Air Bypass Solenoid: Per Ford...The normally closed seconday air injection bypass solenoid consists of two vacuum ports with an atmospheric vent. The solenoid assembly can be with or without control bleed. The outlet port of the solenoid is opened to atmospheric vent and closed to the inlet port when de-energized. When energized, the outlet port is opened to the inlet port and closed to atmospheric vent. The control bleed is provided to prevent the contamination from entering the solenoid assembly from the intake manifold. Needed, yes to keep it from throwing a code. It can be deleted if you turn of the sec air in the PCM but if your state does emission testing...could cause a poblem. Translation is up to the reader.....lol

That is interesting. My Kenne Bell installation manual calls it an "EGR vacuum regulator solenoid".

Who are you going to believe, Ford or Kenne Bell?

 

[Tx_Diablous]

Lol....good point

Thanks for the info guys!

Tx Diablous is right and I am wrong. It is the Normally Closed Air Bypass Solenoid, not the EGR vacuum regulator solenoid. They look a lot alike and it fooled me. Sorry for the misinformation.
