I just picked up a 2nd 1994 Mk8. It was T-boned, so it'll be my "donor" car (and nope, I won't be selling off any parts. Sorry.)
I'm getting plenty of play time under the hood, and learning alot. I'd like to work on a true cowl induction setup on my driver, so that means a complete rework of the air tube/ MAF / filter assembly.
Car runs great with everything hooked up, but if I remove the air tube at the throttle body, the car will not idle. With everything installed, disconnecting any of the sensors installed in the air tube does nothing to affect the idle, to include the MAF electrical plug. It even still idles if I completely remove the air cleaner / MAF assy but leave the rest of the tube attached to the TB! But open a big hole in the tube (such as removing the air silencer that drapes over the driver's valve cover) and she won't idle.
What....is up....wit dat?
