    Question 4age JDM throttle body pipes

    What are these pipes on the throttle body of a JDM 4age bigport for?
    All are currently blocked off (removed for photo). 4age is in AE86.

    I need to add idle up for the air/con - are these involved?

    Don't force it... use a larger hammer.
    If it breaks, it needed replacing anyway.

    DO NOT PUT WATER IN THE PIPE'S (unless you want to wash the inside of your engine)
    The water pipe's are under the TB
    A= fresh fillted air
    B+C= full vac into manifold
    and yes they are for a/c and p/s idle up's
    Regards
    MATT.

    P.S. Not to be a smartass but why post if you do not know?

    Thanks guys.

    As Matt says, the water pipes are UNDER the TB, and are already connected.

    I only need A/C idle-up. Any idea how to set it up?

    Do I need anything extra like a vac switch? I saw a thread on a Falcon vac switch, but insufficient info as to which of the pipes to connect to.

    I know the ECU is connected to the A/C, but is there a connection for the vac switch from the ECU?

    Where do I find a service manual for a "JDM" AE86 4age? The FWD 4age manuals are different.

    For A/C idle up you use both A and B. The idle up switch/solenoid which you will need has 2 ports and basically opens a valve between them when power is applied.

    Hence, what it does is take filtered air from port A and feed it back post throttle into port B.

    So yes, you need a vac switch/solenoid and a few bits of hose to hook it up.

    P.s. you could use A and C, but C is just a PITA to get to and route neatly.

    Sorry, I only said "I think" to throw what I thought out there for someone to confirm or say wrong. I was only going by when I had ripped FWD 4AGs apart, I remembered there always being a vac line going to a little idle motor, and I didn't remember pulling any other lines off the manifolds that had anything to do with AC, but I guess I was wrong!
    My monitor is shit so I couldn't see the other pipes under the TB.
    Cheers.

    Is this the ac valve for the AC idle up? (This one's on my son's AE86 with fwd 4age).



    If so, what car does it come from?

    I still have the ac switch that was in my ae86 with the 4ac, so that should be OK for the electrics.
