Anyone know what that part is next to the Idle control valve ? It looks like it has some kind of rod going into the intake. It's not the egr it is on the other side
 
RE: Emissions

It appears you are describing the IMRC(Intake Manifold Runner Control) vacuum motor. There is one each side.
 
RE: Emissions

You may be right, That is the part that was making the whistleing sound like a vacuume leak that i have been looking for when the engine got up to operating temps. I sprayed it with carb cleaner and the whistle went away but the idle still studders a little sometimes. it did not show up in the codes as faulty
 
RE: Emissions

Hook up a vacuum gauge. Disconnect and plug that vacuum line to the IMRC vacuum motor and see if that makes a difference. If it does, there is your leak.
 
RE: Emissions

Everything is good now I took both valves and cleaned them real good and it made the car run so much better no more slight miss or anything. also improved cold starts as well
